Iona, Mr P Pinot Noir 2020

Get to know: Iona, Mr P Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

Pinot Noir from one of our favourite South African producers Iona. Fresh cherries, ripe strawberries and a touch of spice. The palate is pure with lovely texture. A great example of fruit forward, easy-drinking Pinot Noir with real vibrancy.

Try this with a portabello mushroom and lentil burger.

Kate Says

"We're big fans of Andrew Gunn's Iona winery. This Mr P is, in his words, a 'Pinot Noir for the People.' It has all the character of a classic, high quality red, managing to balance the ripeness of South African wine with the elegance of a French wine."

Producer Info

At 420m above sea-level, set high above the picturesque Elgin Valley Andrew Gunn founded Iona. It is here overlooking the Atlantic ocean that he has secured some of the coolest vineyards in the Cape. In a country where cool climate vineyards are like gold dust, these vineyards are veritable nuggets. There is an extremely long growing season, allowing Andrew to create wines with complex flavours and a fresh, elegant style. The approach is hands off and the land is farmed according to organic and biodynamic practices with a particular focus on ensuring the health of the soils whilst pests are kept under control by the resident flock of geese that roam the vineyards.

This wine is suitable for consumption by Vegetarians and Vegans.

This wine has been produced using a sustainable process.

This wine is produced following organic practices but is not certified organic.
