AUGUST RELEASES 2009
CUVEE CINEMA PINOT NOIR 2008
Wine of Origin Walker Bay. Total bottles produced - 2500
The aroma shows an incredible purity of pinot fruit, with strong cassis, strawberry and
cherry lifting from the glass. Hints of caramel, spice and cola provide a savoury compliment to
the intense fruit. The tannins are velvety and distinctive aiding in a full, rich, lasting mouth feel that
lingers and draws one back into the glass. A backbone of fresh, natural acidity gives this wine great
ageing potential.
PETER MAX PINOT NOIR 2008
Wine of Origin Elgin and Walker Bay. Total bottles produced - 5500
Classically Pinot Noir, with a nose of barnyard and forest floor. There is a hint of
flint, while prominent pure berry fruit gives the nose a fresh luminous character. The palate is
smooth and lightly textured with flavours of dried apricots and cassis encased by fine tannins followed
by a long fresh finish.
CLAY SHALES CHARDONNAY 2008
Wine of Origin Walker Bay. Total bottles produced - 650
A great example of how the cooler sites in the Hemel en Aarde area offer classic purity,
with initial fruit flavours of peach, lemon zest, apple and melon complimented by butterscotch and
wood spice. The wine is full on the palate with a lasting lime finish. There is a mineral undertone
and crisp, racy acidity providing freshness to compliment the decadence of the mouth feel.
