Highwire Summit Pinot Noir 2010

• This charming, fruity yet mysterious South African Pinot Noir was made by the fair hand of 11 times Champion South African Winemaker Trophy winner Nico Vermuelen.
• Redcurrant, raspberry, blueberry and vanilla flavours delight the palate!
• The non-conformists choice.

Grown in vineyards in much more moderate temperatures than the scorching areas of Cape Town, this Pinot Noir benefits from longer ripening, more flavour, more depth and ultimately more class. Nico's handiwork has resulted in a delicious wine which presents an array of red berry flavours with hints of vanilla. This refined unconventional light red tipple is just perfect now that game is back in season or perhaps with a vegetarian friendly mushroom risotto. Either way it is sure to delight your tastebuds.
