Description
A pretty wine with a translucent fresh cherry colour and a nose of lifted cherry fruits and almost bready aromatics. A beautiful line of acidity lifts the fruit while the almost impossibly soft and silky tannins melt effortlessly into the languid finish. An understated Pinot Noir of deep, hidden power.
Producer Information: Tesselaarsdal
Tesselaarsdal was founded in 2015 by long-standing Hamilton Russell Vineyards employee Berene Sauls. It is named after the historic Overberg farming hamlet of Tesselaarsdal—not far from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge wine appellation—where Berene was born, a descendant of the freed slaves who were bequeathed the land of the Tesselaarsdal valley by former Dutch East India Company soldier Johannes Tesselaar’s widow in 1832.
