Diemersdal Pinot Noir 2023
R215.00
Pinot Noir, the noble grape variety from Burgundy in France, reflects terroir like no other red cultivar. Its thin skin and complex profile require specific soil types and climatic influences to display Pinot Noir’s sensual, ethereal presence on the palate and its sculpted and complex flavour profile. The cool maritime climate of Durbanville and ancient soils of decomposed granite are ideal for the cultivating of the variety, as shown in this maiden vintage of Diemersdal’s Pinot Noir.
