Tesselaarsdal Wines 2021 Pinot Noir 750ml

Explosive in the glass, the 2021 Pinot Noir is fresh, ripe and red-fruited with plenty of red flower petals and potpourri spice. Offering crunchy red fruit in a medium-bodied frame, it offers a fine mineral tension, displaying focus and finesse. It’s a delightful, food-friendly Pinot Noir that ends with a spicy finish. Nicely done.
