Pinot Noir

The translucent pomegranate colour of this elegant wine is its initial allure. The intrigue continues onto the nose which reveals a kaleidoscope of aromas and flavours including ripe red berries and cherries, black plums, sage and a damp strawberry patch. The palate is refined with a mélange of red and black fruit, salted black olives and a delicious rhubarb tartness on the finish. The Cape Agulhus terroir provides the signature salty, savoury, lingering aftertaste.

A delightful partner to a classic French onion soup, rare roast fillet with a tangy horseradish sauce or a simple pasta with roasted baby tomatoes, fresh basil and feta. Also good with coal-roasted game fish/ seared tuna or strong, matured cheeses including parmesan and Gruberg from Klein River. Like most well-crafted Pinot Noirs of quality, this wine is already delicious now, but will gain savoury, complex aromas and flavours with a few years of ageing.
