Mild summer temperatures and cool evenings encouraged gradual ripening and flavour concentration. Grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in small open-top fermenters with gentle punchdowns, while a portion of whole bunches was included for aromatic lift and added structure. The wine matured for 14 months in seasoned French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve natural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, and rose petal open into a refined palate of cranberry, subtle spice, and forest floor.
