More Information - La Vierge Pinot Noir 2023
This Pinot Noir offers a rich expression of dark fruit, with aromas of ripe plum, cherry, and violets. True to the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge terroir, it also reveals a distinctive savoury and spicy character, featuring hints of cloves, cracked black pepper, and coriander seed. The palate is well-textured, with vibrant acidity that balances the lush fruit on the front palate. Subtle oak integration adds depth, supporting a refined finish of soft forest floor and lingering spice.
