David Finlayson Pinot Noir 2021

A fresh, modern, New World style with a nod to the complexity of Burgundy.  This Pinot Noir shows ripe, fresh Raspberry, Strawberry and Vanilla notes on the nose.  The palate has a touch of minerality and earthiness layered below the fresh, clean fruit.

Sourced from vineyards in Stellenbosch and one high in the Tulbagh mountains, the bunches were hand sorted and de-stemmed. Fermentation in 3000 litre tanks. 2 pump-overs per day. 2 weeks maceration on skins. Maturation period, 10 months in 300 litre barrels.
