Maastricht Pinot Noir 2023

R195.00

From the vineyard
The fertile Western Cape soils, the quality of the dry-land Pinot Noir grape, as well as the high rainfall, warmer summer days and cooler nights all contribute to the quality of Maastricht wines.

In the cellar
The grapes were hand-picked, de-stalked and crushed into traditional open “kuipe”. The crushed fruit was cold-soaked for 3 days prior to fermentation. The open fermenters were punched down twice a day. The wine spent 14 months in French oak barrel.

The winemakers notes
This Pinot Noir taste has complex flavours of cherry, raspberry, and forest floor. With bright acidity, silky tannins plus vanilla and baking spice when aged in French oak.
