A phenomenally individualistic wine, and the most emblematic Pinot Noir from Place of Changing Winds. Tension runs through every seam: sleek and structured, with high-toned blueberry, hedgerow fruits, cut flowers, Indian spices, vanilla and mint, balancing sweet and savoury. There’s a brooding, elemental quality beneath a shroud of smoky, flinty reduction, hinting at greater beauty still to emerge. Seamless, savoury and tangy, with fabulous, pliable tannins, it has real size, energy and thrust, yet weighs in at just 12% alcohol. Thoroughly gastronomic. This is a classic for decades to come.
The 2024 Between Two Mountains is one of the finest and most seductive Pinot Noirs we’ve produced so far. It comes from several high-density parcels (between 10k/ha and 25k/ha), including those that sometimes produce our Beyond The Forest cuvée. You can expect a fleshy yet vibrant, complex and hedonistic Pinot. Although it’s powerful, it’s also a wine of great perfume and finesse, and it’s already approachable (although it will certainly age well). It was matured for nearly 30 months: the first two years in oak, then 6 months in tank, all the while building depth and complexity. We used a range of barrel sizes (228, 300, and 600 litres), with around 20% new. As always, no fining and no filtration.

Grapes from seven different vineyards spread across Shaw’s Ridge, Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge and Elandskloof. Approximately 50% whole-bunch fermentation. Matured in mainly older 228-litre barrels. Enticing aromatics of red and black cherry, orange, floral perfume, fynbos, earth and white pepper. The palate shows juicy fruit, big acidity and pleasantly grippy tannins. Remarkably deft, particularly given the sizeable […]

Francois is passionate about the quality of the Beaune appellation, particularly some of the more regarded sites such as Clos de Mouches, Les Montrevenots and this 1er Cru, Champs Pimont. The exposition of Francois’ grower is East, but the 1er Cru does rotate round to the South parts. He used punchdowns in 2020 ferments as […]

One of the most stunningly aromatic pinots we’ve tried in a very long time. Drawing you in with star anise, sweet cherry, blackberry, cola, lavender wood, aniseed, sweet raspberry and cassis. Round and open, the aromatics quiet different to what’s found on the palate. Cured meats, mushroom, fresh compost, smoke and baking spices. Savoury tertiary […]

A single-vineyard wine planted with MV6 and Abel clones in the late ’90s; 25% whole bunches. A bright, medium crimson. Whereas the ’24 was quite restrained, this is beautifully fragrant from the get-go, with its bouquet of red and black fruits, bramble and lifted florals. The palate is gently mouth-filling with silky tannins that make […]
