100% Estate Grown | Wine of Origin Walker Bay 90+ Award Medal | Benguela Cove Estate Pinot Noir 2022 | Mosaic Top 5 Pinot Noir Wine Awards In the Vineyards Walker Bay is synonymous with outstanding Pinot Noir. Nudged by the Benguela Current, with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity, ushering in the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure, and bright acidity. Maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention. Slope: south and southwest-facing vineyards Soil: predominantly weathered shale, clay and iron laterites Clones: PN115 & PN777 In the Cellar Grapes were handpicked at optimal potential, followed by bunch and berry sorting. A four-day cold soak encouraged maximum fruit and colour extraction. Using 100% whole berries it was inoculated, followed by gentle punch downs twice a day. After alcoholic fermentation, it was pressed, settled, and transferred to the barrel for malolactic fermentation where it was kept until prior to bottling. Maturation: 10 months; 30% new French oak barrels | Production: 16 barrels Character This wine is a true impression of a vintage, packed with layers of fruit and intricate flavour nuances that makes you want to go back for more. The wine keeps you on the edge of your seat and surprises you with a medley of aromas that includes plum, mulberry, violet, and chocolate with a cool and earthy edge of fennel and dried Origanum. Personality Expect an intriguing wine where the fruit is balanced with an umami character that makes this wine bold in flavour but with the finesse that Pinot Noir is known for. Turkish delight and baking spice suit the soft, creamy tannin and lean acidity with whiffs of violet that announce its cool climate home. Best to enjoy Elegant yet powerful, this wine invites both savoury and sweet dishes. Cellaring potential: Five years
