Meerlust Pinot Noir 2001

SOIL TYPE
Decomposed granite mixed with clay.

VINIFICATION
Fermented dry in open fermentation tanks. After ten days the wine was pressed and underwent malo-lactic fermentation in new heavy toasted Allier barrels. Matured for 15 months in barrique and allowed over 3 years bottle maturation before release.

TASTING NOTES
Medium transluscent bright ruby in colour. Slight tawny-ruby rim. The wine exhibits a typical Pinot Noir bouquet of ripe spring strawberry fruit, cranberry & perfumed musk. There is a hint of gaminess & wild mushrooms on the nose. Medium bodied with bright, clean fruit flavours of red berries and cherries. Vibrant fresh acidity and silky, layered tannins on the finish.
