Cap Maritime Coastal Pinot Noir 2024

The nose is dark and brooding with intense aromas of ripe berry fruit and cloves. The spicy fruit-driven aromas of the nose follow through onto a dense, peppery palate with flavours of morello cherry, cranberry, fresh plums, and red licorice. The wine is light to medium bodied with fine, integrated oak-deriven tannins. Vibrant acidity drives a dry finish with hints of dark chocolate and tobacco. 13.01% ABV.

Cap Maritime is a premium South African wine brand from the celebrated team at Boekenhoutskloof, led by owner Marc Kent and chief winemaker Gottfried Mocke. The brand is dedicated to producing elegant, cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, primarily from vineyards in the highly-regarded Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes texture and perfume over the opulence of primary fruit, resulting in refined, balanced, and food-friendly expressions of these classic varieties. A “Coastal” range from broader Cape South Coast vineyards, offers youthful accessibility in the same style.
