Mundus Vini, 2017

Description

"With aromas of currants, cherry, spice and charred wood. The palate is generous with striking bramble and cedar notes, combined with a fine grain tannin adding focus to finish." Mundus Vini, 2017

A intense dark violet Pinot Noir in the glass. Dark cocao enhanced by red flower petal florals and Damson plum, combine beautifully with the savoury lavender notes leaping from the glass. The tannins are fine boned and chalky, accentuating the fruit sweetness on the palate. The acid backbone melds to provide poise on the palate.

The 2016 harvest tested the viticulture and winemaking teams abilities to produce graceful Pinot Noir. However, they succeeded with this feminine Pinot Noir fine boned and
perfumed, exuding aromatic florals and dark red skinned fruits on the nose. Acid purity with chalky fine tannins enhance the palate. The lead up to the 2016 harvest was challenging with the warm weather bringing tropical storms. The moisture led to heavier crops with our viticulture team working hard to thin the crop, thus ensuring concentration of flavours and the health of the fruit was retained. Selective hand harvesting began on 16 March and was completed by 13 April.

In the winery grapes were fermented using indigenous yeasts and other yeasts before being basket pressed. Minimal fining was applied and gentle, low pressure filtration. The result is a wine with aging potential for this wine is up to 5 years, with careful cellaring.

Food Pairing: Perfectly matched alongside seared venison loin with juniper berry, gin flavours, sautéed mushrooms and seasonal vegetables.
