WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted in the cool-climate Elgin Valley of South Africa, Oak Valley Sounds of Silence Pinot Noir benefits from the region's maritime influence, which ensures slow ripening and vibrant acidity. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a gentle fermentation process in open-top fermenters, allowing for delicate extraction of flavors. The wine is aged in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels, imparting subtle spice and structure. This Pinot Noir is designed to showcase a balance of bright red fruit flavors and earthy undertones, offering a refined and approachable drinking experience.
