Thamnus | Pinot Noir

The Vibe

Fragrant, finely textured and properly moreish. Rose petals, crushed violets and wild raspberry lead the way, then give way to a deliciously savoury forest-floor note. Silky rather than showy, it is the sort of Pinot that disappears quickly around a good table.

The Details (For the geeks)

• Winemaker: PJ Geyer
• Origin: Overberg, on north-facing Klein River Mountain slopes above Hemel-en-Aarde
• ABV: approximately 13%
• The process: A small-production Pinot Noir shaped by the cool-climate edge of the Overberg and PJ Geyer’s precise, site-led approach.

Why it is special

Thamnus makes just two wines from one remarkable mountain site. This Pinot captures its cool Atlantic influence with perfume, freshness and an earthy, savoury undercurrent.

The Perfect Pairing

Seared duck breast, mushroom risotto or a generous charcuterie board. It is also perfectly capable of making a Tuesday supper feel a little more considered.
