Tesselaarsdal Pinot Noir '19

Tesselaarsdal Pinot Noir '19

Login or register to see the price.

A particularly bright, tight and pure Pinot Noir with marked elegance. Clean and lifted wild red fruit and sour cherry aromas
introduce a long, gentle palate with a salty minerality. This is a graceful and age-worthy wine with an almost crystalline
purity.

About this wine

Description & facts

Tesselaarsdal was founded in 2015 by long-standing Hamilton Russell Vineyards employee, Berene Sauls. This wine is named after the historic Overberg farming hamlet of Tesselaarsdal, not far from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge wine appellation, in which Berene was born – a descendant of the freed slaves who were bequeathed the land by former East India Company settler, Johannes Tesselaar in 1810. Extreme care is taken to ensure this small-production, classically styled Pinot noir expresses the personality of the cool, maritime, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge from un-irrigated vines and its elevated, stony, clay and iron-rich soils
