Flavour Profile
We’ve known Adam Mason since the 1990s when, fresh out of college, he came to work for us as a Flying Winemaker, making great wines in French cellars. On his return to South Africa in 2001, he walked into a top job as head winemaker at Klein Constantia, then at Mulderbosch too. Most recently he’s focused on making wines for himself, as well as consulting.
Adam loves making cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – both grapes that beautifully express their 'terroir'… the soil and climate in which they’re grown. The grapes for Au Sommet Pinot Noir come from a high, wind-buffeted promontory, close to the Atlantic. That results in cooler temperatures and a delicious vibrancy in the red fruit of Au Sommet, while 10 months’ ageing in French oak barrels adds spicy, smoky oak notes.
An elegant, well-balanced red that makes the perfect foil to rich chicken dishes, wild mushroom risotto or seared tuna steak.
