As we continue our journey of discovering more about each of the 8 producers in this year’s Pinot Noir Celebration box we take a moment to enjoy the recent tasting we had with all 8 winemakers present. They all present their wines and open up on the challenges and victories of the 2019 vintage – as Gordon Newton Johnson puts it “warts and all”. It is a fabulous insight into both the inner workings of each producer, their personal views on the wine and those of their fellow winemakers as well as the camaraderie that plays such a key role in the region’s success with specific reference to the incredible Pinot Noir on offer in Hemel-en-Aarde. It was a rare privilege to have all 8 producers in one sitting talking candidly about the wine.
