About this Item

2005 Pinot Noir
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

Purchased in December 1980 by the Coetzee family, Vriesenhof is situated at the base of the Stellenbosch Mountain and is often regarded as the best-kept secret on the Stellenbosch wine route. Legendary winemaker and Springbok Jan ‘Boland’ Coetzee is synonymous with the property and gained valuable experience in Burgundy before becoming one of SA’s top Pinot Noir producers. Produced in a rich, powerful style, the classic wines require age to show they best.

Critics Ratings

'05, tasted pvs ed as preview, initially subdued: takes time to open to lifted sour cherry fruit, undergrowth nuances. Harmonious, silken, this is a wine that ‘just is’, rather than being a sum of its parts.' – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2008, 4*
