Christian Eedes,, Août 2022 (Millésime 2021)

The 2021, tasted blind in a flight of five wines from the Ridge ward at a recent event hosted by Hemel-en-Aarde Wines to celebrated this year’s International Pinot Noir Day, was a revelation. Matured for nine and a half months in 228-litre barrels of which 34% were new, the nose shows red and black berries, rose, musk and white pepper and other spice while the palate is well balanced and detailed – it’s not exactly plush but the density of fruit is impressive and the layers of flavour keep drawing you back to the glass.

Christian Eedes, Janvier 2023 (Millésime 2022)

The recently released 2022 vintage is again from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge vineyards farmed by La Vierge with maturation lasting nine and a half months in 228-litre barrels of which 33% were new. The nose shows top notes of musk and violets before red and black cherry, earth, pomegranate and spice while the palate has great fruit definition, bright acidity and fine tannins, the finish remarkably dry. With good depth of flavour but also plenty of verve, this is dead sexy.

Août 2023 (Millésime 2022)

The 2022 Pinot Noir includes 10% whole bunches, some fruit stomped by foot Berenice Sauls herself, spontaneously fermented, and aged in French oak for almost ten months. It has a very precise bouquet with fragrant dark cherry and sous-bois aromas, very Côte de Beaune in style. The medium-bodied palate has fine tannins, is very harmonious, and has lovely sapidity with a tensile finish. Maybe Berene Saul's best Pinot so far - chapeau!

First made in 2015, Berene Sauls' Pinot Noir has developed a reputation for consistently high quality. One of several top reds that employs grapes from La Vierge on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, it includes 10% whole bunches, adding a spicy top note to a palate of raspberry, plum and pomegranate and savoury tannins.

Tim Atkin MW, Septembre 2021 (Millésime 2020)

Elegant, refined and subtle, with a hint of good reduction, supple raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, some clove spice and texture from 10% whole bunches, fine, scented oak and filigree tannins. Graceful and well balanced.

Neal Martin, Septembre 2022 (Millésime 2021)

The 2021 Pinot Noir comes from unirrigated vines from La Vierge estate cropped at six tons/ha. It has a bright and vivid bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry, light sous-bois scents percolating through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, red cherries, bergamot and rooibos, quite tender and persistent on the finish. Lovely.
