The Winery of Good Hope Pinot Noir 2006

This is not a Pinot for those who think good red wine needs to be black and tannic. It is a fragrant, bright Pinot with wonderful elegance and expressive fruitiness. The successful combination of its earthy, mineral & cherry characters make for a really lovely drinking Pinot, at a very reasonable price.

variety : Pinot Noir [ Pinot Noir ]
winemaker : Edouard Labeye
wine of origin : Elgin & Stellenbosch
analysis : alc : 14.4 % vol  rs : 2.3 g/l  pH : 3.4  ta : 5.5 g/l  
type : Red   wooded
pack : Bottle  closure : Cork  
in the vineyard : Two individual vineyard sites were used in producing this wine. The first at altitude on the cool mountain slopes of Elgin, the second on the ocean-facing hilltop of Faure, in the Stellenbosch Appellation, facing directly into the False Bay Atlantic breezes. The vines are all Dijon clones and density, trellising and canopy management conducted in such a manner that the more subtle characters of Pinot could be best expressed.
about the harvest: Green harvest thinning was carried-out sufficiently early in the growing cycle, allowing for focused development of a smaller yield (+/- 35hl / ha). Attention was paid to retaining natural acidity and minerality.
