PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

La Vierge is found nestled in the picturesque mountains of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley. The La Vierge Apogee Pinot Noir 2018 epitomizes the very best expression of terroir from the estate’s beautiful vineyards. It is a vineyard site driven wine that emphasizes the subtle differences in altitude, aspect, clonal expression, and soil that make the vineyards so unique. Minimal winemaking intervention is utilized to allow the vines to speak for themselves. This red wine shows the dark fruit expression of dark plum, cherry and violet aromas. There is a typical Hemel and Aarde savoury and spice expression of cloves, cracked black pepper, and coriander seed. It has a well-textured palate and vibrant acidity which balances the front palate fruit weight. The oaking is supportive on the palate and helps carry the finish of soft forest floor and spicy notes.
