Ghost Corner Pinot Noir 2019
A beautifully crafted Pinot noir with prominent red fruit of ripe cherries and sweet raspberries with an undertone of earthy, mushroom nuances. A silky palate with berries and delicate oak components following through. A wine to be aged for 3 – 5 years. Good to start drinking now. Food Pairing: To be enjoyed on its own, but well paired with a mushroom soup or crispy duck and chicken dishes.
Meerlust Pinot Noir 2023
Meerlust Pinot Noir is a refined and elegantly structured expression of Pinot Noir from the coastal Stellenbosch region, grown on granitic soils at the Compagniesdrift terroir. The cooling maritime influence of False Bay slows ripening and preserves natural acidity, producing a Pinot Noir of real finesse, complexity and layered character. Why You'll Love It Meerlust Estate has been owned by the Myburgh family since 1756, and under the guidance of eighth-generation Hannes Myburgh and winemaker Wim Truter, the estate combines centuries of tradition with modern winemaking expertise to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines from Stellenbosch. Pinot Noir is one of the most demanding varieties to grow and vinify, and Meerlust's Compagniesdrift terroir, with its granitic soils and cooling sea influence, is ideally suited to producing Pinot of real distinction. This is Cape Pinot Noir at its most refined. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness from selected blocks at the Compagniesdrift terroir, then destemmed and gently crushed into small fermenters. Fermentation proceeds with minimal extraction to preserve elegance and finesse. Post-fermentation, the wine is matured in a combination of new and second-fill 300-litre barrels to develop structure and complexity before bottling. Tasting Notes Vibrant garnet in colour with a youthful appearance. Lifted floral perfume on the nose with brooding red berries, earthy wild mushrooms and hints of spice. The palate displays pure Pinot fruit, red cherry and musk flavours, fresh acidity, layered complexity and fine, powdery tannins on the finish. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile Pinot Noir. Excellent with duck, Parma ham, roasted chicken and grilled line fish. Also a natural partner for tuna, wild mushrooms and traditional cheeses. Grape Variety Pinot Noir 100%
