- A delicately flavoured Pinot Noir with aromas of red plum complemented by herbal and smoky notes through to a fresh and leafy finish. With layers of flavour, vibrant aromas of red cherry, dark chocolate, and deep plum are enlivened by a deft use of oak, imparting spicy notes of clove, cinnamon, and spice.
Ernst subscribes to the French philosophy that the quality of the grape is inextricably linked to the "terroir", so he travels to various regions throughout the Western Cape and handpicks his grapes in the areas where they naturally grow at their very best. The Pinot Noir grapes are grown on the West Coast, just three miles from the sea, where the vineyard overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. The revitalising sea breezes create balancing freshness in the grapes, showcased in this beautifully composed Pinot Noir.

| Winery | Ernst Gouws & Co. is a family-owned business in the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Synonymous with producing quality South African wines rich in heritage and tradition and driven by a profound passion for wine and family values. In 1975, a dapper and enthusiastic Ernst travelled to Europe under his father's instructions not to return to South Africa until he mastered winemaking. During his voyage of discovery to France and Germany, he missed his childhood sweetheart, Gwenda and invited her to visit. After falling madly in love, they decided to marry there and then. Forty years later, with three children and many Gouws grandchildren, Ernst and Gwenda still run the family business alongside their three children, Ezanne, Ernst Jnr and Inke. They are accredited to the Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association and hold the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) certification. |
