6 x 750ml bottles of Serendipity Pinot Noir 2024

100% Pinot Noir

This wine was made by Karabelo under the mentorship of Charles Hopkins whilst she was at De Grendel Wine Estate during her second year as a Protégé.

The grapes were harvested early from the cool Ceres Plateau, then fermented in open barrels with gentle punchdowns and also in a rotating Tremeaux Legaré long barrel to encourage elegant extraction. After a natural malolactic fermentation, I matured the wine for eight months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak.

Bright garnet in colour, Serendipity shows beautiful aromas of ripe cranberry, violet, and a gentle hint of spice. On the palate, it is elegant and textured, with layers of red plum, earthiness, and a whisper of oak. Its freshness and purity reflect its cool, high-altitude origins, resulting in a poised, nuanced Pinot Noir.

The name Serendipity holds a very special meaning for me. I made a big leap from a career in modelling to winemaking — an unexpected shift where passion and purpose perfectly aligned. This wine is my way of celebrating those surprising moments in life that guide us towards what we’re truly meant to do. It’s a tribute to dreams, storytelling, and the courage to follow your heart. Serendipity invites you to embrace possibility and raise a glass to the joy of becoming.

This wine is packed in a wooden box.
