Cederberg Ghost Corner Pinot Noir 2019

A well-crafted Pinot noir expressing wild berries and red cherries with a hint of savouriness. A creamy sensation on palate with structured tannins that ends off with a subtle earthiness.

When you have access to wild mushrooms – this is your wine – especially wild mushroom soup. Crispy duck and barbeque chicken are two dishes made for this wine. A touch of cinnamon and cumin will enhance the flavours. Also try steak tartare. South African Biltong will possibly work well!
