Thirst Pinot Noir (Stellenbosch)

Thirst is a live rock concert rather than a manufactured, boyband studio album. Our aim is to express its environment, the varietal and the vintage, in the most natural way. Our simple logic is, the less you manipulate the wine, the better it is, and we therefore capture its integrity, energy and individuality.

These grapes are from a younger block from Devon Valley planted with a Champagne clone in soils derived from granite. Carefull canopy management ensures grapes with a lovely concentration and picking happens early to retain maximum freshness. In the cellar, semi-carbonic maceration methods were used during the natural fermentation, resulting in a wonderfully perfumed fruit expression. This wine spent 3 months in very old 600L barrels to add some texture to the wine.

Bright red fruit, red liquorice and hints of the typical Pinot Noir earthiness. The red fruit follows through on the pallet with some minerality and a vibrant acidity.
