2021 Phantom Pinot Noir, Lomond Wines

Western Cape, South Africa

This delightful Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard planted in South Westerly facing blocks on the upper reaches of the property, overlooking the sea.  This aspect ensures that these vineyards are cooled during the summer months by the prevailing winds off of the sea.

This wine opens in the glass with fragrant aromas of rose petals and oriental spice that lead to alluring notes of wild, red-berried fruit and an appealing earthy complexity. The palate is elegant, with beautifully integrated oak, refined tannins and a long, silky finish.

In 1999, Geoff McIver established the Lomond estate, which is situated on the Agulhas Plain near the southernmost tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas – the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans- eight kilometres from the fishing village of Gansbaai and within sight of the sea. The estate takes its name from the Ben Lomond Mountain in the Uilenkraal Valley.

Award-winning winemaker Hannes Meyer joined the team and skillfully crafts a portfolio of stunning wines from this top wine-growing region, some of which are named after the indigenous flora, known as ‘Fynbos’. The vines are planted on as many as 18 different soil types, which appear naturally in small pockets along the slopes and produce intriguingly complex wines, with flavour profiles that differ significantly from one block to the next. The terroir, climate and location of Lomond combine to create superb single-vineyard wines. The vineyard is sustainably cultivated; Lomond is a member of South Africa’s Integrated Production of Wine (IPW), Wine & Agricultural Ethical Trade Association (WIETA) and the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy.

The hand-picked and hand-sorted grapes were fermented with selected yeasts in open 500-litre barrels and handled reductively with regular manual punch-downs. The wine then underwent malolactic conversion in barrels, which were a combination of 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill French oak. The wine was then matured for 12 months in the same French oak barrels.
