David Finlayson Camino Africana Pinot Noir Reserve 2024

The Pinot Noir is a classy New World style that pays homage to the complexity found in Burgundy. On the nose, you’ll discover red and black berries,
earth, cured meat and spice. The palate offers a touch of minerality and earthiness beneath the fruit flavours.

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with dishes like beef, veal, game (deer, venison), poultry and other savoury delights.

This wine is made from Pinot Noir, clone 115, planted two decades ago on the highest point of the Nortern side of the Bottelary Hills. In my search for special and undiscovered sites and wines, I found the grapes and have followed their path into this fantastic example of what potential there truly exists for Pinot Noir in Stellenbosch when the right clone is fitted into the perfect site and terroir. A wine for maturation and enjoyment when the time is truly ripe for the reward.

in the cellar : The Pinot Noir grapes were carefully sorted and crushed whole berry into a 5 ton fermenter. After 3 days’ cold soak and allowing spontaneous fermentation to take place, pumpovers occurred 2 times per day for 5 days. 10 days’ post ferment maceration was followed by a soft Basket press and further 12 months’ maturation in 6 New 300 litre French Oak Hogshead barrels. Bottled with minimal filtration and no fining to maintain the wines’ fine structure.
