What a bargain this wine is; it is as good as any
of the pricier and prize winning Pinot Noirs on the market. We bought this a while
ago (2015) and it has really come into its own. Grown on weathered Karoo shale
on the banks of the Breede River in Bonnievale.
Silky soft and fragrant with
raspberry and red cherry notes, wood is there but only as a support. On the
palate it charms with its soft fruit, length and sophistication. Fanus Bruwer
is a good winemaker who doesn't get enough recognition. R120 a bottle, current
vintage is 2015
