2021 Le Luc Pinot Noir, Restless River, Hemel-en-Aarde

A very fine expression of Le Luc. There’s length, juicy fruit, and also a very floral character. The palate is driven, with lots of tension. This is very impressive: a wine that seems to get better every year.

Tasting notes

Craig Wessels doesn’t always get the praise he deserves for this Pinot Noir, which is often among the best in the Hemel-en-Aarde region. Intense, layered and well structured, it has a hint of good reduction, plum, raspberry and black cherry fruit, vibrant acidity and subtle sweetness from 30% new barrels. One to cellar. 2024-31
