Rather than chasing the weight and ripeness traditionally associated with New World Pinot Noir, Thorne \u0026amp; Daughters takes a more restrained, site-conscious approach, producing wines with freshness, texture and an unmistakable sense of place. Copper Pot is a wonderfully approachable introduction to that philosophy, combining delicate red fruit with savoury complexity and the subtle earthy character that makes Pinot Noir so captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards lie in the cooler southern reaches of the Western Cape, where maritime influences and altitude help slow the ripening process and preserve the grape's natural acidity. These conditions are particularly well suited to Pinot Noir, allowing the fruit to develop flavour and perfume without losing its freshness. In the glass, the wine sits comfortably between elegance and character: bright enough to remain lively, but with enough depth and texture to make it genuinely interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper Pot is the sort of Pinot Noir that rewards slowing down. Red cherry and raspberry sit alongside earthy spice, herbs and subtle savoury notes, while fine tannins give the wine shape without making it feel heavy. It has the finesse to appeal to Burgundy lovers, but enough generosity and fruit to remain immediately enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wine lovers in Ireland, this is an exciting alternative to the usual Pinot Noir choices. It offers the elegance associated with the grape while showcasing the increasingly impressive quality coming from South Africa's cooler wine-growing regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCopper Pot is Pinot Noir with personality: elegant and silky, but with enough earthy, savoury character to keep things interesting. Thorne \u0026amp; Daughters manages to capture the delicate side of the grape without making the wine feel fragile or overly serious. It's a beautifully versatile red and a great introduction to the more refined side of modern South African winemaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorne \u0026 Daughters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54627373482330,"sku":"659525910570","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/1745\/4426\/files\/Thorne_Daughters_Copper_Pot_Pinot_Noir.webp?v=1787520681","url":"https:\/\/vpmerchants.com\/products\/thorne-daughters-copper-pot-pinot-noir","provider":"VP Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
