The The Fledge & Co. Katvis Pinot Noir 750ml is an unconventional and compelling South African red wine. Winemakers Leon Coetzee and Margeaux Nel craft this blend from multiple cool-climate sites. The name “Katvis” (Catfish) honors the tenacious, adaptable, and unconventional spirit of the wine. It combines fruit from Elgin, Tradouw, and the Klein Karoo. This approach defies a single regional designation. The result is a vibrant, lithe, and aromatic Pinot Noir.
- The 2021 Vintage achieved a superb 92 Points from Tim Atkin MW.
- James Suckling praised a recent vintage as being a “spicy Pinot” with good structure.
- Critics frequently note its complexity, litheness, and approachable character.
- It is recognized for its great quality-to-value ratio.
The Fledge & Co. Katvis Pinot Noir displays a bright red color. The nose is complex and highly aromatic. It features notes of bright red cherry, raspberry, and rose hip. Undertones of forest floor and musk add complexity. The palate is medium-bodied, sleek, and tangy. Juicy fruit flavors are supported by ripe tannins and a subtle oak spice. It possesses a long, savoury finish. The winemakers bottle this wine unfiltered for maximum character. Enjoy it slightly chilled alongside grilled duck breast or braised lamb shoulder.
