Idun Crépuscule Pinot Noir is a captivating wine from the cool-climate Elgin Valley in South Africa. The region’s high altitude and ocean breezes create ideal conditions for growing expressive, elegant Pinot Noir grapes. This vintage showcases the finesse and purity that the variety can achieve in the right terroir.

The wine pours a brilliant garnet in the glass, hinting at its graceful personality. On the nose, it offers lifted aromas of wild strawberries, cherries, and redcurrants. These fruit notes are gently layered with subtle floral hints and a whisper of spice. Delicate oak influences add complexity without overpowering the fruit.

On the palate, Idun Crépuscule is fresh, silky, and precise. Red berry flavours lead, with cranberry and raspberry adding brightness and verve. Fine-grained tannins provide structure while allowing the wine’s supple texture to shine. There is a lovely balance between vibrant acidity and refined fruit expression. Earthy undertones emerge on the mid-palate, lending depth and authenticity to the wine’s character.

The wine finishes long and pure, with lingering notes of red fruit and a touch of forest floor. It is graceful yet confident, showing impressive length and harmony. The use of oak is measured, allowing the varietal expression to remain front and centre.

The winemakers craft this Pinot Noir with minimal intervention, taking a thoughtful and hands-off approach in both the vineyard and the cellar. They hand-harvest and carefully sort the grapes. Fermentation takes place in small batches with natural yeasts, preserving the vineyard’s unique identity.

Idun Crépuscule Pinot Noir is a wine of quiet sophistication and genuine charm. It will pair beautifully with duck, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon. Though drinking beautifully now, it also has the structure to reward short-term cellaring. This is an excellent choice for lovers of refined, terroir-driven Pinot Noir.
