94 points
A deliciously saline and savoury red that has notes of wild mushrooms, cranberries, rhubarb, beets and spices. It’s medium-bodied, earthy and framed with fine, lightly powdery tannins that spread across the palate. Real pinot character. From a single vineyard planted in 1998. James Suckling

This is Pinot Noir with character, energy, and serious aging potential.

Hemel-en-Aarde (which means "Heaven and Earth" in Afrikaans) is one of South Africa’s most exciting cool-climate wine regions, best known for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Located near the coastal town of Hermanus, it benefits from cooling ocean breezes from the Atlantic, giving wines incredible freshness, elegance, and depth.
