Cape of Good Hope6x Sneeuwkrans Pinot Noir 2020

About

In 2016, Johann Rupert agreed to sponsor the Old Vine Project and André Morgenthal and Jaco Engelbrecht were appointed after both having been informally involved with the project for some years. The “Cape of Good Hope” project tells a story of our land, culture and history through the vinification of some of the oldest vines in the Western Cape.

Product Features

• All the fruit was destemmed and then fermented in old wooden 3 ton tanks and small 1 ton open top Stainless steel tanks.
• These grapes were worked very gently during fermentation. 
• After fermentation, the wine was aged in old 225L French oak barrels for 10 months and finally bottle aged for 2 years.
• Sneeuwkrans Pinot noir presents with a perfumed floral nose, cherry blossom, ripe plum and raspberry aromatics.
• In typical Pinot Noir character, it displays approachability with complexity and subtle nuance, while remaining succulent and generous.
• Broad and laidback on entry, it offers bright red fruits but then also subtler, earthy, deep forest floor intensity. 
• Silky, refined and pliable, with a powerful core and backbone from integrated oak. 
• Enjoy with Venison salad with beetroot and goats cheese.
