A Pinot noir tha elegantly reflects beautiful layers of sour cherries and wild strawberries with hints of cloves. It has a bright and vivid bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry, light sous-bois scents percolating through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, red cherries, bergamot and rooibos, quite tender and persistent on the finish. Lovely
Tesselaarsdal Description
A true reflection of fruit from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, the 2023 Pinot Noir elegantly reflects beautiful layers of sour cherries and wild strawberries with hints of cloves. We proudly release this elegant age-worthy wine.
A very challenging 2023 harvest, but thankfully with all grapes in before the rains in March, This did not have a negative effect as the vines received natural irrigation which helped decrease the effect of water stress levels on the vines allowing them to function better and allow optimal functionality for the ripening period.
The vineyards had even budburst and the initial growth was also even, mainly due to higher than normal maximum and minimum temperatures during September. Grape quality was very favourable leading to an exceptional vintage. The Season’s length, coolness and reduced yields have made for a great quality harvest.
