Winemaker(s): Lenuzza — a small, family-run estate in the hills of Friuli’s Colli Orientali. Known for thoughtful, artisanal farming and expressive, site-driven wines rooted in limestone and marl soils. This is from their estate in South Africa

Winemaking: Hand-picked fruit from hillside plots; fermented with gentle extraction for elegance, not weight. Aged to preserve freshness, purity and fine texture. Warm yet balanced 2022 vintage adds ripeness without losing lift.

Name Meaning: “Ridge” reflects the elevated vineyard sites that shape this Pinot — cooler breezes, limestone soils and gentle slopes give finesse and definition.

Interesting Fact: Colli Orientali del Friuli is one of Italy’s quiet Pinot Noir success stories —

cooler than much of northern Italy, with soils that give the grape surprising delicacy and minerality.

Serve With: Prosciutto San Daniele, mushroom risotto, herb-roast chicken, seared duck with

cherries.

When to drink at Christmas: Sometime between Christmas and New Year, when the family have all gone home. This is one to savour by yourself
