Tasting notes:
'Very fresh with ripe figs with gooseberry and grassy notes. Mineral core to the wine which are coated with texture which creates a wonderful mouthfeel. Figs, gooseberry and some asparagus ending with a dry clean finish. 4 months on the lees to create texture and mouthfeel on the mid-palate.' – Winemaker
About La Brune:
Nico Grobler is an extremely accomplished winemaker that still, somehow, flies under the radar. Responsible for the multi-award-winning Eikendal wines, Nico and his wife have set up La Brune in Elgin and focus solely on Pinot Noir. Hell-bent on making wines with natural acidity, his value Pinot is a great demonstration of this. The La Brune, The Valley Pinot Noir 2016 is bright, offering fresh drinking, and made very much in the style of a Bourgogne Rouge. It has a wonderful nuance of dried cherry fruit, fresh acidity and a subtle earthy undertow. This light red is wonderful on its own but also great with food.
