About
Influenced by altitude, slope, prevailing winds and sunlight interception the cool Elgin Terrior leads to an extended ripening period on the vine. Later ripening, closer to autumn, mean considerable diurnal temperature variation. This slows down sugar development, allowing the accumulation of more aroma, flavour and the retention of higher acidity. Resulting in naturally balanced wine with complex flavours. The family pursues sustainable agriculture and has been given international recognition for its farming practices. These awards include the Drinks Business Green Awards Lifetime achievement and the Nedbank Green Award for Best Environmental Farming Practises and Nedbank Leader in Water Conservation. We are also a champion farm for Biodiversity in Wine.

Yesterday was International Pinot Noir Day
We were going to put this deal up then, but we needed to make extra sure we chose the best pinot noir we could.
Confession: we had a little too much fun and enthusiasm with the tasting and missed our deadline.
Still, it worked out for the best.
We get to offer you a killer deal on a phenomenal pinot noir and the alliteration that comes with Wine Wednesday remains intact. Win win.
