Ernst Gouws & Co Pinot Noir 2012

Name: Ernst Gouws & Co Pinot Noir 2012
Brand: Ernst Gouws & Co
SKU: 35404

With immediate aromas of raspberry and dark cherry, the flavours of the Pinot noir are subtle and embraced by a deeper sense of spice, earth and dark chocolate. These aromas are complemented by the palate of the wine as the same flavours can be enjoyed here. The sudden Pinot noir character is very imminent being followed by a long and consistent finish.

A versatile wine to be enjoyed with poultry, game and predominantly red meat dishes.
