Why You'll Love It
Silky, fragrant and gently savoury, Terra Lux offers plenty for a red Burgundy drinker to enjoy. Red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry come with subtle earthiness and spice, supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Pour with duck, game birds or mushrooms and give it a little time in the glass.
About The Producer
Blackwater is the independent project of François Haasbroek, who began seeking out neglected Cape vineyards while working as winemaker at Waterford Estate. His interest lies in the character of individual sites, particularly older vines and varieties that might otherwise disappear into larger blends. Rather than owning one estate, he works with growers across the Western Cape, building long-term relationships around vineyards he believes deserve their own bottling. Careful fruit selection and restrained cellar work underpin the range, from fragrant Cinsault and Carignan to textured Chenin Blanc and the unusual Pleasure Garden Palomino.
Winemaking Information
Pinot Noir sourced from Elgin, one of the Cape's cooler wine-growing areas. Maturation in seasoned oak supports the fruit without dominating its flavour, and the wine is bottled unfiltered. François Haasbroek makes this cuvée in small quantities, focusing on fragrance, fine texture and freshness.
