Alan Cooke acquired land on the slopes of Kasteelberg in 2010, establishing Yellowwood Winery and launching his Swartland wines under the Aspoestertjie label.
A keenly priced Pinot Noir is always a welcome surprise, and Cooke’s 2024 from Ceres Plateau grapes is available from TOPS at SPAR for R205.99 (or R215 via the winery website).
The wine underwent 30% whole-bunch fermentation before spending 10 months maturing in foudre. The nose is delicately perfumed with cranberry, strawberry, rose, fynbos and white pepper. The medium-bodied palate combines pure fruit with zippy acidity and fine, powdery tannins, finishing gently dry with an earthy nuance. Rather charming. Alc: 13.5%.
CE’s rating: 90 | Delicious
