2023 Tesselaarsdal Pinot Noir
£44.00
“Berene Sauls sources her ambitious Pinot Noir from La Vierge’s farm on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, using Emul Ross of Hamilton Russell Vineyards as her winemaker. The nose has appealing ginger spice, rose petal and vanilla aromas, complementing a succulent, savoury palate of wild strawberry and summer pudding supported by refreshing acidity.”

Product Description
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.
A bright, tight and pure Pinot Noir with marked elegance. Clean and lifted wild red fruit and sour cherry aromas introduce a long, gentle palate with a salty minerality.
