The De Grendel Op die Berg Pinot Noir presents itself in the glass of clear and bright garnet red and smells stunningly of fresh strawberries, ripe cherries and a classic touch of wild mushrooms. An immensely complex wine of excellent balance of fruit and oak notes.

The hand-picked grapes were 30 ntrappt and 70 m whole bunch fermented. Before the start of the fermentation process, the mash was subjected to a four-day cold swelling phase, after which selected yeast cultures were added to the juice and the fermenting must was pumped over twice a day. This was followed by gentle pressing in the traditional basket press, after which the wine was transferred to new French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation before being transferred to a combination of older barrels, where the wine aged for 13 months.
