Product Notes

Chamonix Pinot Noir Reserve is a notable wine that originates from the renowned wine region of Franschhoek Valley in South Africa. The wine is skillfully made by using the finest Pinot Noir grapes, harvested at the optimal maturity, to create a unique and unforgettable experience. The aromas are rich with dark fruit, spices, and a hint of earthy forest floor, followed by a velvety texture on the palette. The palate is also dominated by perfectly integrated flavors of sour cherry, blackberry, and vanilla, leading to a long, elegant finish. This impressive wine is best enjoyed with red meats, game, or pasta dishes and has a cellaring potential of over a decade.

Tasting Notes

The Chamonix Pinot Noir Reserve shows a ruby red colour, with notes of cherry, wild red berries, crushed black pepper and violets on the nose. Although firm in structure and intense in flavour, textures are mellow and round, expanding with time to extraordinary opulence and length on the palate. It should reach its prime in 5 to 8 years after release.

About the Winery

Chamonix

The historical Huguenot Estate, which goes back to 1688, previously included the Cape Chamonix Wine Farm. Chamonix has sprung into the international wine scene during the past 20 years as a well-respected winery in its own right, now operating under the guidance of German-born businessman Chris Hellinger. Under his leadership, the estate has experienced significant development and now provides tourists with a wide range of dining and entertainment options in breathtaking settings. All at Chamonix is performed with affection, passion, and an unwavering dedication to quality, from the sheltered Forest Lodge overlooking the picturesque Franschhoek Valley to the reputed Arkeste restaurant, the various facilities to the broad range of fine wines, spirits, and other delights on offer.

In the centre of South Africa's Western Cape region, high above the lush Franschhoek valley is a wine estate unlike any other. Chamonix has about 123 acres planted with vineyards, some of the most in the Cape Winelands. Their farm enjoys refreshing breezes throughout the sweltering summer months. Because it rains more in winter than in summer, the area has a warmer temperate climate than the rest of the country. Even the rocky, clay-rich soil is perfect for raising healthy grapes that will provide superb wine. Together, these elements give their wines a distinctive personality and character that are well-known worldwide.

Being purists, the winery owners have always believed that nature should be the main winemaker to create a wine with authentic character and good taste. Their secret ingredients include an emphasis on minimal involvement and ecologically friendly farming practices. All the grapes are hand-selected, and they produce the wine using traditional techniques like natural fermentation and no acidification. The soil is replenished with organic mulch and composting, while green harvesting is used to prevent overproduction in the vines. They like collaborating with nature to produce distinctive wines that reflect their respect for the environment.
