R540
‘Grapes from Lothian, 60% CY548 and 40% CY95. Matured for nine months in 228-litre barrels, 25% new. Classic aromatics of lemon, a touch of flinty reduction, oatmeal and little oak spice. The palate possesses both depth and breadth – powerful and textured without tipping into opulence, the finish bone dry. A wine of real gravitas, still somewhat unresolved, the oak requiring a little more time to fully integrate. Alc: 13.3%’ - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘Brioche nose. You feel you are walking into a French bakery ordering patisseries. Hint of fruit but more perfume and citrus skin. Core of the wine is minerality. Layers of texture guides you to a tight and linear finish. Showcasing the profile of Table Mountain sandstone.’ - Winemaker

| Producer information | Nico Grobler is an extremely accomplished winemaker that still, somehow, flies under the radar. Responsible for the multi-award-winning Eikendal wines, Nico and his wife have set up La Brune in Elgin and focus solely on Pinot Noir. Hell-bent on making wines with natural acidity, his value Pinot is a great demonstration of this. |
