Thorne & Daughters Copper Pot Pinot Noir

Stylish and sophisticated pinot noir from the Overberg region. This delicious wine opens with perfumed and elegant aromas of rose, redcurrants and wild herbs. On the palate, fine-grained tannins and juicy acidity are coupled with well-defined notes of nutmeg and red plum.

The fruit for the 'Copper Pot' Pinot Noir is sourced from numerous sites in the Overberg region, most of which are just outside the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. This area is destined to become a new ward called 'Shaw's Mountain' and the soils here are predominantly clay-shale and quartz-sandstone. These soils, combined with the region's cooler climate, result in rich yet perfumed Pinot Noir. A small amount of fruit is also sourced from an organically farmed vineyard in the Bottelary Hills near Stellenbosch.
