Description
juicy & well-balanced
The heavy clay soils of the lower Hemel-en-Aarde Valley are said to be the reason for this areas ability to repeatedly offer vintages of premium quality Pinot Noir wines. Clay soils contribute through their moisture support as well as through their complex soil chemistry. Add to this Hermanuss soft summer weather conditions, then the result is a happy combination for a particularly fussy grape.
Vintage 2004 is perhaps the most full bodied and robust Pinot Noir vintage to date. It was a vintage which ripened up very rapidly and presented a challenge to winemaking skills.
Rich and dark in colour with silky tannins. This wine has depth and concentration. Organic whiffs on the nose, tasting of subtle cherries, raspberries and oak. The wine will mature and develop.
