BENGUELA COVE ESTATE PINOT NOIR

Opinion/Accolades:
Doused with all the privileges of a cool climate, Walker Bay is synonymous with outstanding South African Pinot Noir. Nudged by the Bot River Lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night

Appearance: Aroma: Taste
Upfront red fruit sets the stage for more subdued nuances of mulberry, rosehip and violets to follow suit. As it matures, this wine will unveil a more savory play of bay leaf and thyme, hinting towards an Old-World style.
Pruned, sappy rosebush notes are indicative of youth with elegant floral notes that carries through. Fruit sweetness hits the back of the palate with porcelain-like tannins that will chisel this into a serious and powerful wine to be.

Personal Food pairing:
Elegant yet powerful, this wine invites both savory and sweet dishes.
