About this Item

Elgin Pinot Noir 2019, 2022
4 (2 x 2) 750ml
Moya Meaker is a boutique Elgin producer, part of the same stable as Damascene, with wines made by the acclaimed former Boekenhoutskloof winemaker Jean Smit from cool, high-altitude vineyards on Bokkeveld shale. Its Pinot Noir is among the Cape's most elegant. 2022 was a cool, favourable Elgin vintage. Jancis Robinson MW gave it 17 out of 20. 2019 was a challenging, drought-affected Cape vintage giving small, concentrated crops. Tim Atkin MW scored it 92 in his South Africa Special Report 2021.

Critics Ratings

Moya Meaker Elgin Pinot Noir 2022
"Pale garnet. Delicate, recognisably Pinot nose. Fragrant and light-bodied but with a little tannic structure suggesting it's no fly-by-night. I fully agree with my colleague Oliver Coleman about the agreeable balance between sweet and savoury. Reasonable length. A red for fish?" - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2025)

Moya Meaker Elgin Pinot Noir 2019
"Part of the same stable as Damascene, this is an impressive Elgin Pinot Noir from ex-Boekenhoutskloof winemaker, Jean Smit. The wine is every bit as classy as the label, with fleshy red berry fruit, savoury tannins, racy acidity, notes of aromatic wild herbs and very well-integrated oak." - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 92/100 (Sep 2021)
