Tasting Notes
A little more savoury than her Nom Pinot from Elandskloof - this is light and floral-herbal, with violets, bracken and undergrowth, a a whiff of leather and shoe polish and cocoa. The palate is much brighter- loaded with cherry fruit, semi-dried cranberries and pomegranate, but also some savoury notes there too. Very sleek and fragrant.

Since Jessica Saurwein produced her first wine at Stellenbosch University, she has been trying to redeem her family’s reputation in wine. Steeped in the history of 17th century winemaking, her forefathers made “sour” wine for the Duke of Austria! Luckily, now Jessica makes Pinot Noir rather than sour wine.
