Tuesday, April 30th, 2013A review of our 2011 Pinot Noir
Monday, March 18th, 2013
A review of our 2011 Pinot Noir by UK wine writer Richard Saxton. We have included a link to the article and also added text from Richard’s review here.
“Given the youthful nature of the vines here the wine already shows a lot of character. It’s a clean wine with a refreshing line of acidity running through it and the nose is wonderfully perfumed with classic Pinot scents. The palate is subtle but effective with bright red fruits and a very slight creaminess in the background. To be honest this is a more complete Pinot than I expected and I wonder if Tim too was a little surprised with how well the wine turned out!
Seven Springs recommend giving this an hour before drinking and it certainly does open up in this time. As an initial attempt at Pinot this shows real potential. The acidity would make this an excellent food wine.
As I’ve said before when reviewing wines from Seven Springs; I’m genuinely looking forward to trying the next vintages having finally completed the set. The success story goes on!”

2011 Seven Springs Unoaked Chardonnay, Overberg, South Africa
It’s good to find a successful unoaked chardonnay outside Chablis. Not an easy to style to get right, but this works well. It’s round and soft-textured, but reassuringly crisp, with bright, well-defined, pineappley fruit framed by a gentle cashew-nut flavour and a hint of vanilla, although not the vanilla you get from oak. 13%. See also the syrah below and try the sauvignon blanc, a very pure, clean-cut, cool-climate style. Went well with a risotto which included fennel bulb.
2010 Seven Springs Syrah, Overberg, South Africa
Impressive result from very young vines. Cassis, woodsmoke and vanilla perfume, with crunchy black fruit, smoke, liquorice and fresh herbs on the palate. Some tannin and quite marked acidity but both softened by 12 months’ oak ageing. Good with prosciutton and with grilled and roast red meat.
