Description

With Pinot Noir the fruit is always the primary focus. Each vineyard block is harvested as a separate parcel and treated individually at each stage of the winemaking process. This enables us to tailor traditional winemaking techniques to the wine, providing elegance and complexity.

Wine Profile

Food Pairing Notes:

Pairs perfectly with rustic dishes, red meat, rich fish, and game

Production Notes:

The fruit was picked from selected vineyard blocks to provide blending components and more complexity to the wine. The fruit was destemmed and crushed directly into a combination of open and closed-top stainless steel fermentation tanks. Following pre-fermentation maceration, the must was inoculated with a range of pure yeast cultures. The open ferment was hand-plunged up to three times a day and a small portion of the blend was run off to complete fermentation in French oak barriques. After 7 days total maceration time, the wine was pressed off into tank and French oak barriques to complete malolactic fermentation. The wine was then matured for 11 months and racked prior to final blending.

Tasting Notes:

Fragrant dark cherry with juicy black plum, elegant and silky. Aromas of ripe cherries and sweet fruit tannins that provide structure and length.
