Tasting Notes
The bouquet is complex with scents recalling wild berries, spice, sour cherries, and violets. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with plush and supple fruit flavours and ultra-fine, velvety tannins, leading to a lingering finish. A ripe and full-flavoured wine with all the hallmarks of a well-crafted cool-climate Pinot Noir.

Vintage
High on the Witzenberg Mountain range in Ceres, at an altitude of 960 meters above sea level, this unique ‘appellation’ exhibits South Africa’s only truly continental climate with winter temperatures frequently dropping below freezing. The cooler night-time temperatures and hotter daytime temperatures during the growing season results in slower ripening and more concentrated fruit. Ceres fruit displays surprising cooler climate characteristics in comparison to other regions of the Western Cape.
