This wine is a bit in your face and quickly lets you know what it is about. Rich fruit on the nose with some perfume and orange peel. It is vibrant, full of energy and pulls you right into that glass. After dreaming for a while you take that first sip and are blown away. There is a big mid-palate which is a bit rich with some ripe red fruit, but then lighter clones come through and tightens up the palate and adds that freshness, length and minerality. You find yourself finishing the glass so quickly… It is simple: great Pinot makes you thirsty.” – Nico Grobler, winemaker\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNico’s ‘The Valley’ Pinot Noir is made with five different Dijon clones for a variety of textures and flavor profiles (PN113, 115, 777, 667, 459). Clones 113, 777, and 549 tend to be higher in acidity and high toned, perfumed, and elegant, while the other two add color, tannin, and power. Nico has always had a soft spot for Pinot Noir after spending a significant amount of time in Burgundy working with Bruno Lorenzon of Domaine Lorenzon in Mercurey. ‘The Valley’ Pinot Noir is some of the finest value you can find for this variety in South Africa – and it very much gives Burgundian Pinot Noirs at the same price point a run for their money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShowing the beautiful profile of the Elgin Valley.
