As it opens, subtle herbal notes and earthy woodland nuances emerge beneath the fruit, alongside clove, gentle oak spice and a faint smoky mineral edge.

This Pinot Noir brings together two parcels in Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, within Walker Bay. Discovered in 2018, their sheltered positions and Bokkeveld shale soils offered an opportunity to capture the perfume and savoury elegance for which this coastal region is celebrated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56394971545985,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2020PinotNoir_G.P.SSeries_Kershaw.png?v=1791966582","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2020-pinot-noir-g-p-s-series-kershaw","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
