Cape Chamonix

Stellenbosch

The Feldspar Pinot Noir has a bright red colour. The bouquet is complex with scents recalling wild berries, spice, sour cherries and violets. On the palate the wine shows a medium body with fruit flavours and elegant tannins, leading to a long finish.


Vinification

The remaining component is destemmed and fermented in open oak vats for 14 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine is matured for 16 months in 228ℓ s French oak barrels with 30% new wood.
