Profound, rich and multi-dimensional. Fruity cassis nose, great colour, good grip with a full-ish body and good tannins leading to an elegant but longish finish.

Pinot Noir is the most food flexible varietal. Its richness comes from a multitude of layers of flavour. Enjoy with fish, poultry, game birds and red meat dishes.

in the vineyard : The finest vineyards are often located in marginal climatic conditions. While the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is generally perceived as a mild to warm area it is subject to unpredictable weather patterns. Vintage 2002 has produced one of the most complex Pinot Noirs to date. Is this the result of a high rainfall in January prior to harvest? One effect of wet weather is a reduction in crop; it also questionably ameliorates the flavour profile of the wine. This is undoubtedly the thumbprint of this vintage.
