Tasting Notes
Viticulture
This Pinot Noir is a blend of different clones sourced from different blocks in our vineyard. The grapes were hand-harvested at maximum flavour maturity.
Wine Making
After harvest the grapes were de-stemmed into a small open top vats for fermentation. The must received a four to five day cool pre-fermentation maceration before the fermentation begun.
The cap was treated with a punch down three times daily during the peak of fermentation. After fermentation finished, the wine was pressed to new and old French oak barrels for maturation and underwent complete malolactic fermentation.
The wine was racked off lees and blended and received a light fining and a polish filtration for clarity.
