Beautiful ripe strawberries, raspberries, cranberries and sweet spice on the nose, with subtle hints of forest floor and wild mushrooms. It pinot noir wine is an excellent combination of old meets new world!

TIM ATKIN MW 2023 SOUTH AFRICA SPECIAL REPORT [ 90/100 ]
“From Langrug farm in Elgin. Lively red fruit mingles with plum and savoury notes from pre- and post-ferment macerations. Older oak, 11 months, polishes sappy tannins. Respectable and dapper, already approachable with a few years in store.”

Winemaking
Winemaking
We kept the vinification process for Mr P Pinot Noir traditional. The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and fermented using whole berries. To add some complexity, 10% of the bunches were whole bunch fermented. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 28ºC, with regular punch downs. When fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed into 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill French oak barrels where they underwent MLF. After 11 months in barrel, the wine was racked and bottled.

Mr P's Poem
Mr P's Poem
In case you don’t know a great deal about Pinot
We have just the man with his feather, hat and bow.Good old Mr. P with a nose for the best
He truly knows his pinot’s he’ll put yours to the test.With a feather in his pocket and notebook in hand, he slowly sips his glass;
They hope it’s not too bland.He raises his brow and has a look around.
He gives a subtle wink, the wine makers have done him proudAs Mr. P has no time to chat,
he casually walks away with a feather in his hat.
