Winemaker and Philosophy:

Jozua Joubert - Crafting Expressive Wines that Reflect the Region

Jozua Joubert is the talented winemaker behind Solitary wines, with over 20 years of experience in the South African wine industry. His philosophy revolves around creating expressive, high-quality wines that truly reflect the unique terroir and climate of the region, ensuring that each Solitary wine offers a memorable experience.

 

Region and Unique Features:

Stellenbosch - A Diverse Terroir with a Mediterranean Climate

The Solitary Morning Bell Pinot Noir 2021 hails from the esteemed Stellenbosch wine region. Known for its diverse terroir and Mediterranean climate, Stellenbosch provides the perfect growing conditions for a variety of grape varieties, including Pinot Noir. The region's unique soil composition and cooling ocean influence contribute to the distinct characteristics of this wine.

 

Climate and Impact on Wine:

Mediterranean Influence - Slow Ripening and Balanced Acidity​​​​​​​

Stellenbosch experiences a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean allows for slow, even ripening of the Pinot Noir grapes, which develop complex flavors and balanced acidity, lending elegance and freshness to the wine.

 

Wine Characteristics:

Elegance and Freshness - Expressive Red Fruit Flavors and Silky Texture​​​​​​​

  • Acidity: Medium to high acidity, contributing to the wine's freshness and balanced structure
  • Fruitiness: Expressive red fruit flavors, such as raspberry, red cherry, and cranberry, typical of Pinot Noir
  • Body: Medium-bodied, with a smooth and silky texture that coats the palate
  • Tannins: Moderate tannins, providing structure without overpowering the delicate fruit flavors
  • Finish: Medium to long finish, with lingering notes of fruit, earth, and subtle spice
