2021 Restless River Le Luc Pinot Noir
£45.00
“Craig Wessels doesn’t always get the praise he deserves for this Pinot Noir, which is often among the best in the Hemel-en-Aarde region. Intense, layered and well structured, it has a hint of good reduction, plum, raspberry and black cherry fruit, vibrant acidity and subtle sweetness from 30% new barrels.”
95 Points, Tim Atkin MW
“Bright crimson. Firm, ambitious nose. More burgundian than most South African Pinots! Very subtle with violet notes and it may even develop mushroom notes. Really polished, fine tannins. Quite long.”
17/20 Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
Restless River is in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, situated in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, with our vineyards at an altitude reaching 1200ft and 5km from the cold South Atlantic ocean.
Our appellation is unique with ancient, granite-based, rocky, deep clay soils; extremely rare to the greater Walker Bay area. Daytime temperatures during summer are some of the lowest in the South African winelands. This cool maritime climate and our decomposed granite soils allow us to grow and make lighter, more elegant wine, balanced with texture, length and complexity.
