Vriesenhof Pinot Noir 2010
100% Pinot Noir This wine is a blend of different clones from the 2010 vintage. A selection of barrels from mainly 777 and 115 from our Pinot Noir vineyards on decomposed granite soils is responsible for the blend. As the ripening of the clones is very different, the wine was blended after malolactic fermentation in the barrels. Maturation was completed after 13 months in heavy toasted French oak before bottling. Tasting note: Strong earthy forest floor, pine needles and some dampness are the main features of this wine. In time it will become more balanced and creamy with the wood underpinning the mouthfeel.
