Yardstick Pinot Noir 2023

A fantastic expression of Stellenbosch Pinot Noir, showing the region’s ability to produce wines with both elegance and character. From mature vines in Stellenbosch, the wine was made with a light touch. Just 5% whole clusters to add complexity and texture, with the rest of the grapes gently destemmed and fermented in stainless steel. The result is a captivating and elegant Pinot Noir. It is light in colour but has a surprising depth of flavour, it is well balanced and structured. On the nose, you’ll find classic, earthy notes of freshly tilled soil, black tea, and a savoury hint of cured meat. On the palate, the time spent in barrel has softened the tannins, leaving a fine, chalky texture.
