Very good South African Pinot from Walker Bay Area. Produced by rising star winemakers Carolyn and JC Martin.
Developing nicely with integrated alcohol and tannins.and excellent fruit forward elegant Pinot.
According to latest releases these traditional Pinots are being replaced by new wine making styles and I hope they haven’t thrown the baby out with the bath water!

A nice Pinot from Walker Bay area and will develop further.

Good stuff!

Lovely silky smooth texture on palate with well integrated tannins and alcohol.
A super nice SAF Pinot and will develop further.

Oct 7th, 2025Nice Reserve Pinot with some age from Sth Africa, took a while to open.
Good fruit/acidity balance and very food friendly.

16.5/20 (90/100) В аромате преобладают тона вишни, есть ноты малины, спелой темной сливы, нотка ванили. Довольно высокая кислотность, мягкие ненавязчивые танины. Хороший баланс.
