This New World Pinot Noir hails from a special one-hectare hillside in Casablanca. Carefully crafted and matured in fine, elegant French oak barrels, this wine has good body and a delicate nature, perfect for enjoying a magical moment.
This wine is deep ruby in colour. The nose opens with the classic red fruit, such as strawberries and wild raspberries, typical of this noble variety. Notes of vanilla and spices intermingle subtly with a delicate minerality, making this a delightful and complex wine.The mouth reveals intense, fruity flavours and tannins which are ripe, well-rounded and integrated into the elegant structure. Long in the finish. The French oak frames the expressiveness of this distinctive and elegant wine.
This wine pairs well with fish, pasta dishes, creamed soups and mature cheese.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Herú from Casablanca was made with 30% whole bunches and aged in casks and eggs. Cherry red in hue. The nose features strawberry, herbs and damp earth against an oaky backdrop. Terse and refreshing with a silky, grippy flow; the finish is fruity. A ripely expressive wine.
