{"product_id":"cirrus-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Cirrus Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eCirrus wines are produced in the Western Cape, where carefully selected cool-climate vineyard sites allow Pinot Noir to retain its natural finesse and freshness. The focus is on expressing site rather than overpowering it, with grapes harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve delicate aromatics. Winemaking leans towards a modern, minimal-intervention approach - gentle extraction, restrained oak use, and an emphasis on purity of fruit. The result is a style that sits comfortably between Old World restraint and New World clarity, offering approachability without losing varietal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003eLight ruby with a bright, translucent edge typical of Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eFresh red cherry and wild strawberry lead, followed by subtle notes of cranberry, dried herbs, and a hint of earthy spice.
