South Africa, Elgin Valley
Pinot Noir
Description
This Pinot Noir has been nurtured from start to finish. Meticulously managed vineyards, hand sorted grapes and gentle cellar practices have resulted in a wine that displays beautifully defined red berry fruits, and intriguing hint of orange peel on the nose and a rounded structure imparted by the subtle use of French oak. This elegant wine displays harmony between fruit and tannin and ends with a satisfying lingering finish. Whilst this Pinot Noir drinks exceptionally well now, it will also benefit from a few years in the bottle.
