in the vineyard : Our aim with the KC Pinot Noir is to showcase the true beauty of the cultivar whilst not overcomplicating it; keeping it light, fresh and accesible at any time. In order to do this, we have sourced grapes from two of the best Pinot Noir terroirs in the Western Cape; Elgin and Hemel & Aarde (these grapes coming from first crop certified organic vineyards). Each bringing their own unique character to the wine - Elgin showing light red fruit and Hemel & Aarde the more serious rich and complex character.

in the cellar : The grapes were fermented on the skins for a short period of time and pressed off before the end of alcoholic fermentation. Thereafter, the wine was aged on the fine lees for 9 months in a combination of 2nd and 3rd fill barrels and then blended, lightly filtered and bottled.
