The Cap Maritime Pinot Noir exudes an intense and inviting bouquet of wild strawberries, blackberries, coffee and black cherries, as well as exciting hints of iris, violets, potting soil and dried leaves. The scent already heard from the nose carries seamlessly through to the sumptuously elegant palate, where nuances of black fruit marry with notes of blueberry, ripe plum, blood orange and fresh cherry, and hints of clove, tobacco leaf and cola, together giving a stunning complexity. Round, supple and balanced on the mid palate with elegant tannins and a refreshing and well-integrated acidity, this high-dollar Pinot Noir finishes with nuances of Christmas spice, cinnamon, licorice, cedar and potpourri in a delightfully fresh way.

The grapes were hand-picked and transported in small staircases cooled to the winery, where a careful and thorough selection of grapes took place to ensure that only healthy and whole berries enter the concrete tanks selected for fermentation. The majority of the grapes were destemmed, while about 25 he grapes remained on the whole bunch. Fermentation began spontaneously. "Spontaneous" in this context means that fermentation was not initiated by the addition of commercial yeasts, but exclusively by the "wild yeast" naturally occurring on the fruit as well as in the environment. At the end of fermentation, 60 of the wine was put into Stockinger barrels of 2500 liters, while the other 40% was transferred to new or first-age French barriques. After 15 months of aging in barrel/barrique, including an extended malolactic fermentation at low temperature, the wine was bottled.
