100% Pinot Noir
Hemel-En-Aarde Ridge/Overberg

Sourced from two vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and Overberg regions, this 100% Pinot Noir was harvested in late February and early March 2024. The grapes were naturally fermented in open-top fermenters with a focus on gentle extraction before spending 10 months aging in French oak barrels.

“Matured for 10 months in barrel, 100% new. Cranberry, cherry, red apple, hints of musk and herbs plus a little smoky reduction on the nose while the palate is lean in the best sense with fresh acidity and chalky tannins. Focused and precise, the most assured release to date. 93/100”

Description
Additional information

The most inland of the three famed Hemel-en-Aarde wards, between Hermanus and Caledon. Proper Pinot Noir territory.

Pinot noir grapes were harvested in the first week of March. Grapes were cooled overnight and destemmed the following day into an open top fermenter. Natural fermentation kicked in after a few days of cold soak and then daily punch downs followed, with the focus on gentle extraction. After primary fermentation, the wine was left on the skins for approximately 2 weeks before pressing in a basket press and into french oak. The wine spent the next 10 months in oak and bottling took place mid February 2023.
