Hoopenburg Pinot Noir 2018

Some of the best Pinot Noir find their origins in coastal regions. Youthful perfume with intricate spice and tertiary notes. Fresh violet petals, dark cherry and grape stem spice play with the darker, more brooding and earthy characters of wood bark and truffles.

Fresh and fruity, along with a very fine grained mid-palate tannin, allowing it to complement a variety of food types ranging from carpaccio and salads, to most heavy meat dishes.

in the vineyard : This wine originates from beautiful cool climate grapes bought in from Elgin.

about the harvest: Harvesting was done at 23 Balling.

in the cellar : The fragile Pinot noir berries were gently handled and fermented for thirteen days on the skins. The wine was then pressed and laid down to rest in French Oak barrels for twelve months. No racking occurred to limit oxidation. Finally the wine was racked into a tank. No fining occurred and a very coarse filtration was done, so as not to damage the fruit.
