The aromas of strawberries and red cherries jump from the glass, while
ripe berry fruit follows through onto an elegant, juicy palate to create a
beautiful balance between the summery perfume and well integrated oak flavours
of this velvety, soft wine.
"Provided your timing is perfect, Pinot Noir grapes cultivated in
warmer climates will produce excellent, fruit forward wines. The grapes chosen
for our Pinot Noir hail from one of the most sought after vineyards in the
Franschhoek valley located high up on south-westerly facing slopes of the
Franschhoek Mountains," says Cellarmaster Karl Lambour who is especially
pleased with the flavour profile of the Grande Provence Pinot Noir 2013.
"Pleasing a red wine lover in summer is nearly impossible, but this
Pinot Noir will certainly do the trick. The best pairing for this wine is
definitely seared salmon with a crisp summer salad," recommends Karl.
