About this Item

2021 Op Die Berg Pinot Noir
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“All in all, from the owner to the guy that prunes the vineyards, for us, we see it as one complete team effort. Getting a good crop and making a decent wine is probably one of the most satisfying jobs in the world.” - Charles Hopkins

100% Pinot Noir

• The vines are situated on the Witzenberg mountain range at a high altitude of 960m above sea level.
• Grapes are grown on Bokkeveld skalie (shale).
• Continental growing conditions consisting of cool nights and warm days.
• Slow and late ripening during the growing season resulting in concentrated fruit.
• Purity and complexity that is quite unique.

Tasting Notes: This Pinot Noir offers a bouquet of ripe raspberries, initial savoury notes, and an underlying minerality. Fresh cherries are supplemented by gentle oak, ending off with a velvety mouthfeel.

Ready for drinking in 8 years.
