About this product
Africa's benchmark Pinot Noir from clay-shale soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Elegant, precise, and mineral — red cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, wild strawberry, and a distinctive earth-mineral backbone unique to these ancient coastal soils. Requires 5+ years ageing for full expression.
