A high-altitude Pinot Noir shaped by light, altitude, and time
Between heaven and earth
Between 966m and 1036m above sea level on the remote Ceres Plateau, Cirrus captures a singular expression of South African Pinot Noir — defined by purity, tension, and quiet intensity.
Cirrus Wines
Cirrus Wines are born in an unlikely place.
On the upper reaches of the Witzenberg mountains, where orchards have long defined the landscape, a small pocket of vineyards at Rietfontein farm has revealed something unexpected: a site capable of producing Pinot Noir of remarkable clarity and structure.
Here, altitude is everything.
Cool nights, intense sunlight, and a long growing season shape a wine that is both elegant and deeply concentrated — a reflection of a place still being discovered.
Origins
A quiet curiosity became a new expression of South African wine.
The Place
Altitude, light, and precision guide every decision.
The Wines
Pure, poised, and quietly complex Pinot Noir.
The Wines
A single wine, shaped by a very specific place.
Cirrus Pinot Noir is the first expression from this high-altitude site: elegant, lifted, and quietly complex, with Chardonnay planted as the next chapter in the story.
