About the wine
A touch of Burgundy in this South African Red
- Just west of Cape Town, surrounded by mountains, is the Elgin Valley – home to cool climate growing conditions and shale-based soils. They’re what give this Pinot it’s signature fresh flavor.
- With crisp strawberry and fresh raspberry flavors and savory spice notes, it’s delicious paired with seared meat or a charcuterie board
- For fans of old-world style reds, this Pinot is a perfect match. According to Richard, it’s flavor profile matches up perfectly with a typical Burgundy.

Serving advice
2022 is a year in which one can enjoy its youthful fruit and light to medium body, which will open up over the next year. It also has the power and structural elements to keep over the next 2-4 years. It's best enjoyed after decanting.
