Kershaw Wines Vertiginous Pinot Noir 2022
100% Pinot Noir
Wine of Origin Elgin
The Vertiginous Pinot Noir, made from the rare Clone 52, originates from the steep, dryland slopes of central Elgin. Clone 52 is known for producing wines with a balanced profile of lightness, delicate floral notes and a distinctive tannic structure. The delestage process used for extraction enriches its depth and colour, while natural malolactic fermentation in Burgundy barrels provides a creamy, balanced finish, enhancing the age-ability of this wine.
Tasting Notes: This wine has a mid-ruby, vibrant colour and attractive fragrant cherry blossom, wild strawberries, and a hint of violets, interwoven with subtle notes of camphor, pine forest and spice. A penetrating entry, the palate reveals red cherry and baking spices that unfurl in the mouth. A seamless blend of bright acidity and fine-grained tannin builds structure, culminating in a chalk-edged length. With focus and precision, this delicate wine drives a long, mineral finish.
