Benguela Cove Pinot Noir 75cl

From Walker Bay in South Africa, Benguela Cove Pinot Noir 2023 is a light to medium-bodied dry red made from Pinot Noir grapes. The wine opens with bright red fruit character, followed by mulberry, rosehip and violet notes, with a youthful floral lift and a more savoury edge that develops with time.

On the palate, fruit sweetness sits at the back of the palate, supported by fine porcelain-like tannins and earthy nuances. Bay leaf and thyme add further complexity, giving the wine a more savoury, Old World-leaning character. Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, it is a thoughtful choice for the table.
