Tête de Cuvêe Galpin Peak, 2012

100 €
Grape: Pinot Noir
Pinot noir arguably plays its biggest role in the arena of winemaking by way of its role as the
major component of French Champagne. Fine red wines made from Pinot noir have their respect
from selective sites on the Hills of Gold in Burgundy, France. Here in the Hemel-en-Aarde
Valley near Hermanus the Pinot noir grape has enjoyed consistent success which offers
undeniable support for the claim that this valley is Africa’s benchmark location for this fine
grape variety. To build on these ideal conditions I have taken advantage of this opportunity to
make a special blend by utilizing the best barrels in the cellar for a smaller unique
bottling! These limited release bottlings are called Tête de Cuvée.
The 2005 vintage was an excellent summer which presented cool conditions and allowed for
ideal Pinot noir ripening. The Pinots from this vintage have proved to offer fantastic fruit driven
wines. This is the sixth Tête de Cuvée release since 1997 and follows in the tradition of blending
a handful of the best barrels to carry this title. In this case it is twelve barrels!
Appealing on the nose with whiffs of Raspberry, cherry and oaky plum. Rich, long on the palate
with full bodied firm harmonious structure ending in layers of velvety tannins which act as a
guarantee for many years of positive development.
Pinot noir is the most food flexible varietal. Its richness comes from a multitude of layers of
flavour. Enjoy with fish, poultry, game and red meat dishes
