One characteristic which sets Alexanda Basin Pinots apart we think, is minerality. Now the concept of schist rocks and sandy gravels being detectable in the taste of wine is hotly debated by some scientists and wine writers. But we believe a “stony mineral” character underpins Alexandra Basin Pinots and provides tautness at the finish of the wines.

When the season and winemaking get it right, the flinty flavours and aromas combine with tannins and acid to give texture and length that is a sub regional hallmark.

Nose: Lifted bright red cherries with clarity on the nose. Opulent fruit with herbal hints at the end. Elegant wine.

Palate: Bright red fruits. Very fruit forward. Palate is soft and luscious, fresh acidity.

No fining, Vegan and Vegetarian-friendly wine.

100% handpicked and de-stemmed from a single vineyard in Alexandra.

Aged for 10 months in barrel and 22% new oak.

Open this bottle 1 - 2 hours before, if possible at 14 - 16 degrees Celsius. If you can't wait 1 - 2 hours, pour the wine into a carafe or a decanter for immediate pleasure.

Enjoy it today or keep until 2027.
