Restless River Le Luc Pinot Noir 2022

Restless River is synonymous with authentic, elegant wine. Craig and Anne Wessels own and run this small family estate in the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

Craig is committed to absolute site expression and a minimalist approach. Each vineyard on their farm is registered as a Single Vineyard and the wines are named after the vineyards.

Being terroir driven, the focus is on 100% single varietal wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. They also occasionally release a wine called Wanderlust – which changes every year and lays outside the core tenets of Restless River.

As we have come to expect, the valley produces some excellent Pinot Noirs, and ‘Le Luc’s site and soil make for a distinctive wine. With a rich colour, cherry and floral flavours this Pinot is accessible and lusciously smooth.

Appellation: Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley / Walker Bay

Christian Eedes, Winemag 94/100
Some 35% fermented whole-berry. Matured for 12 months in 228-litre barrels, 35% new. Seductive aromatics of red and black berries, musk, floral perfume, tea-leaf and white pepper while the palate has luscious fruit, bright acidity and velvety tannins. Full of charm and already quite accessible.

Tim Atkin 95/100
“Intense, layered and well structured, it has a hint of good reduction, plum, raspberry and black cherry fruit, vibrant acidity and subtle sweetness from 30% new barrels. One to cellar.”

Jancis Robinson MW
“Of all the Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot noirs, this is the most Burgundian.”
