SOUTH AFRICA : WESTERN CAPE : OVERBERG
Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, RED CHERRY, WILD STRAWBERRY, POMEGRANATE, EARTHY, OAK
< style="margin: 0;">Overberg sits roughly ninety miles east of Cape Town, where the Atlantic pushes cool air inland across shale-derived, clay-rich soils — conditions that produce Pinot Noir with more tension and less fruit-forward warmth than most South African examples. The result reads closer to a cool-climate Burgundy village wine than anything from Stellenbosch.
Towns Wine Co. is the project of Alicia Towns Franken, a former wine director at Grill 23 in Boston, named Wine Enthusiast Future 40 Tastemakers in 2023, who co-founded the label to invest in underrepresented voices in the wine industry. The wine is made by a woman vineyard manager and cellar assistant whose career was shaped at Hamilton Russell — South Africa's benchmark house for cool-climate Pinot.
Named for Inkwell Beach on Martha's Vineyard. Ten months in French oak — 10% new, 20% second-pass — a restrained hand that preserves site character over wood. Only 215 cases produced.
< style="margin: 0;">PAIRINGS :
| Duck breast | acidity cuts the rich fat; the wine's cherry carries like a built-in sauce |
| Pan-seared salmon | mineral character echoes ocean-brined flesh; gentle tannins don't overpower |
| Roasted beet and goat cheese | earthy notes align with beet; bright red fruit lifts the dish |
