TASTING NOTES
We first began producing our Copper Pot Pinot noir as a dedicated wine for our family’s hotel, Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse, in the KZN Drakensberg. Since then the wine has taken on a life of its own and we feel very privileged to be able to work with this cultivar in one of South Africa’s best Pinot noir growing regions.
We love Pinot noir for its supple, delicate power and its ability to elegantly and honestly express its origins. We take to heart the challenge of producing a great wine from this exacting varietal and like so many other Pinot lovers you will often find a bottle on our table.
We vinify the wine as sympathetically as possible with wild yeasts, a percentage of whole cluster ferments and maturation in old oak barrels.
This year’s vintage has a perfumed nose showing mulberries, humbugs, rosewater, and buchu. Tannins are fine while the palate is fresh with complex, balancing savoury notes of mace mixed with plums, redcurrants and dried figs.
