On the palate

This vintage expresses the typical earthy and savoury aroma of this fine Burgundy variety and is backed by a red fruit character. The single block wine expresses beautiful primary fruit and soft floral characters. Delicate tannins and an elegant mineral core will see this wine drinking well on release and developing for at least 5 years.

The heart of our conviction is simple yet deliberate. Trust the Site. 20 years ago, Peter Clarke founded the farm up in the cool heights of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Here, in a natural and beautiful ampitheatre, he chose the purity of planting dryland vineyards on virgin soils. Each block is exposed to unique aspects of soil and climate, rewarding us with layered and complex fruit that provides the foundation for our wines that are unveiled in our cellar to reveal their full expression of terroir and vintage.

The Pinot Noir planted on our farm in the new ward of Hemel – en - Aarde Ridge, 10km in proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate being “temperate” in style, where the southerly maritime winds blow through the appellations during the summer. These winds in turn bring regular sea mists and overcast conditions to the areas and with it more even temperatures. The average temperature is 19° C and rainfall, approximately, 750mm per year.

This wine is made from the highest altitude block of Pinot on the farm, on the southern facing hillside. The grapes were harvested by hand enjoying cool early morning temperatures. After overnight cold storage they were sorted, destemmed and gently crushed into red ferment tanks. Cold maceration occurred for 3 days to gently extract colour and fruit, without endangering the delicate structure. The wine was then fermented under controlled temperatures until dry. The skins were then lightly pressed.
