Kershaw GPS Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge Pinot Noir 2019
South Africa, Hemel en Aarde
Pinot Noir
Super premium
Description
Pretty rose petal, red cherry, and orange blossom are emphasised by the brightness of aroma. The ripe, fleshy fruit rounds out the mid-palate, and the plush texture gives density to the overall structure of this mid-bodied wine. The juicy acidity with cherry skin and crushed velvet tannins are balanced with a presence and depth of fruit. Flavours include dark cherry, red cherry pie crust, clove spice and wild strawberry. All this is capped by a saline undertone that leads to a tapered finish.
