Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge Pinot Noir

9.1

Well, color me surprised. I’ve been to South Africa twice mainly in the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek areas but I’ve never had a Pinot noir from there. This was a revelation. I have to admit we were first eating it with an Indian style sausage and beet curry so it initially did not go well at all. After drinking it apart from the food, it was delicate and lovely. Definitely a nose of earthy forest floor and herbaceous drinking to very light, almost strawberry flavor to it. Well, balanced sweetness without being cloying and juicy enough to go well with what our dessert cheese course was. — 2 years ago

Delicious wine. Probably a lot more to say but this was just very good with maybe 30 mins of air and then drank over 2 hours. Softened and became more elegant with solid fruit over time. — 2 months ago
