La Vierge6x The Affair Pinot Noir 2022

About

Have you ever heard of the phrase, purchase wine according to the grapes' address? Well, we are currently talking about the Golden Mile of Pinot Noir property. The Pinot Noir grapes come from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, where some of the country's most awarded wines come from. Only 10km in proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, the climate is “temperate” in style, where the southerly maritime winds blow through the appellations during the summer cooling the grapes significantly. If you are a Pinot Noir fan but not necessarily a fan of the price tag associated with the varietal, then we would highly recommend considering this option.
