An exquisite winter novelty – El Capitan Pinot Noir

17th December 2020

El Capitan Pinot Noir is an exquisite novelty from the collection of exquisite El Capitan wines, which 46Parallel Wine Group presents for the New Year holidays with best wishes. We have been waiting for this event for almost a year, and finally, after many months in the French oak, El Capitan Pinot Noir wine is already in bottles, ready to delight, surprise and inspire you.

The new Pinot Noir completes the exquisite collection of premium El Capitan wines. This wine is the only one from this collection, aged in oak barrels of the French cooperage Tonnellerie Vinea, followed by aging in the bottle. This profile completes all aspects of taste and aroma. Deep notes of ripe cherry, black cherry with a predominance of wild berries in the aroma is later revealed by vanilla-jam tones of plum and blackberry. The wine has soft tannins, which give it a feeling of completeness with a rather bright and complex structure. The Pinot Noir grape harvest in 2019 provides maximum depth and versatility, as well as gives the wine a rich long aftertaste. The harmonious taste with a pleasant balance of acidity and tannins is guaranteed to warm all connoisseurs of red wine on long winter holiday evenings.

– This is the wine whose strategy we have changed several times: initially it was planned that the El Capitan line would consist exclusively of wines without aging, as we had to have a collection of premium wines Grand Admiral. Later it was realized that this wine has great potential and it would be right to give it spiciness by aging in the barrel. We took this strategic step and did not regret it. Pinot Noir is another masterpiece, a wine to be proud of, – comments the new CEO and owner of 46 Parallel Wine Group Anna Gorkun.

El Capitan wines are a limited collection of fine premium wines. In this line, winemakers of the 46 Parallel Wine Group have picked the best grapes of the Pinot group to create perfectly balanced wines Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. https://youtu.be/2C–8oZ2YLc
