A beautifully balanced and charming Pinot Noir, showcasing purity, precision, and terroir from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, offering enjoyment in its youth with potential to develop further.

Traditional. 10% whole bunch. Fermented in small, open-top oak fermenters, with spontaneous fermentations
using wild yeasts only. A combination of gentle pump-overs and punch-downs ensures the extraction of only
the finest tannins. Lightly basket-pressed to retain fruit purity. Aged for 12 months in Burgundy 228L barrels,
25% new. Nine months of further aging in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes: Elegant floral and red fruit aromas (like summer pudding, goji, red berries, orange) with underlying musk and earthy notes, leading to a graceful palate with fresh acidity, fine tannins, good fruit definition, and a gently savory finish, noted for its elegance and balance.

"Vineyard Selection uses three clones (113, 115 and 777) planted on three different soil types in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Curated in 30% new wood, it's a sappy, juicy, refined Pinot Noir that's all about grace and perfume rather than power, showing subtle wood spices, plum and wild strawberry fruit and a waft of rose petal. 2026-30" - Tim Atkin 94
