2022 Cuvée Cinema Pinot Noir, Crystallum, Walker Bay

A film about Napoleon was filmed on this site the year before vines were planted, on this site on the Hemel-en-Aarde ridge. It's high density vines produce a wine of intensity and power. Slightly dark in character, this has bramble and pomegranate, and also plenty of spice. Long, fine-boned, and complex, this will age wonderfully.

Tasting notes

Cuvée Cinéma is a sublime expression of Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge grapes, a wine that is so delicious that you want to drink the whole bottle on your own. Using 60% whole bunches in the mix, it has tobacco pouch and clove aromas, scented, toasty 20% new wood, fleshy tannins and juicy bramble and wild strawberry fruit. 2024-30
