Our Wine Buyers have been raving about this elegant red ever since the first release from the 2016 vintage. Le Luc Pinot Noir comes from Restless River’s young vineyards planted in 2013 and it’s more than a match for many in California and Burgundy. Aged for in old oak Le Luc is still crunchy and snappy with crisp cranberry cherry black plum and wild strawberry sorbet flavours.
Interlaced you’ll discover very Burgundian notes of dried herbs brambles red earth sweet spice leather and oak forests. It’s an exquisite piece of winemaking from a young yet extremely promising new site but one that really reminds us of the great wines of Gevrey-Chambertin and Clos Vougeot. We predict that in the future this is going to become one of South Africa’s most sought-after Pinot Noirs so don’t miss out.
