WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

This Unwooded Pinot Noir is special because it shows a more vibrant, fruit-forward side of Pinot Noir, stripped of oak influence but full of elegance. It’s made to be enjoyed slightly chilled (around 14°C) to highlight its brightness and drinkability.

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: A bright and inviting bouquet of red berries—such as strawberries and cherries—with subtle hints of blueberry, mocha, and even a whisper of cigar box when tasted via certain importers.

Palate: Light-bodied yet flavourful, offering juicy red fruit (cranberry, cherry), a gentle freshness, and soft, delicate tannins.

Finish: Clean, elegant, and lingering—with a touch of red fruit and a refreshing lifted acidity.

Product details

Haute Cabrière Unwooded Pinot Noir comes from the Franschhoek region in South Africa, cultivated on sandy and sandstone-rich soils in relatively young vineyards (3–8 years old). The grapes are hand-harvested and given a short cold soak (about four days), followed by gentle fermentation at cool temperatures before the wine is pressed off the skins and fermented entirely in stainless steel. With no oak influence, this wine emphasises purity of fruit and freshness. Alcohol is around 12.5% for some vintages.

For collectors: It’s a versatile wine that can be both a summer sipper and a refined red for lighter meals or shared moments.
