Shannon RocknRolla Pinot Noir 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R595
‘Rock n Rolla is a single parcel Pinot Noir that showcases the quality of the 113 clone. Made by the brilliant Gordon Newton Johnson in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, this has aromas of clove, sage and five spice, some tobacco leaf notes from 15% whole bunches, plum, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit and stylish 50% new wood. A very self-assured wine. 2025-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 95/100

Producer information | The name Shannon pays homage to the owner’s ancestors who come from Irish descent. Located in the Elgin Valley within the Kogelberg Biosphere, Shannon Vineyards’ unique terroir speaks for itself. With the Peninsula Dam creating the eastern boundary of the farm, the vineyards experience a cooling blanket of mist which is such a great geographical influencer on the farm’s climate, that Shannon has included the river mist in their logo. As such, the winemaking follows a minimal intervention approach to allow the different terroirs to be expressed in the wines. |
