Restless River Le Luc Pinot Noir 2022

R743.00

Region: Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley

Tasting note:

‘”I’ve found the target,” says Burgundy nut Craig Wessels of the seventh vintage of Le Luc. Made with clones 113, 115 and 777 and fermented with 20% whole bunches, it’s a succulent, layered, intensely floral red with some subtle reduction, a hint of salami, stylish 30% new wood and flavours of plum and black cherry. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW 95pts

‘Grapes from a vineyard planted in 2013. 10% whole-bunch fermentation before maturation lasting 12 months in 228-litre barrels, 30% new. Red and black berries, musk, mushroom and white pepper on the nose while the palate combines impressive weight with verve. It’s a poised wine with well-defined fruit, lemon-like acidity and fine tannins. 13.3%.’ – CE 95pts

Restless River is synonymous with authentic, elegant wine. Craig and Anne Wessels own and run this small family estate in the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. The farm has some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in the Hemel-en-Aarde, with vines first planted in 1999. Pinot Noir followed, planted in 2013.
Craig is committed to absolute site expression and a minimalist approach. Each vineyard on their farm is registered as a Single Vineyard and the wines are named after the vineyards. Being terroir driven, the focus is on 100% single varietal wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Almost all their production is done by hand, resulting in limited quantities of each wine.
