Product Description
This opulent style of Pinot Noir shows prominent aromas of wild cherries and strawberry with baking spice undertones. It has a finely textured palate with silky tannin, cranberry and boiled sweets makes way for notes of truffle and dark chocolate followed by a fresh and vibrant finish
Grapes were handpicked and only individually selected bunches were harvested at maximum flavour intensity. After both bunch and berry sorting on arrival at the winery, the grapes underwent a four-day pre-fermentation cold soak allowing for maximum fruit and colour extraction. Fermentations using 100% whole berries were done to give upfront fruit driven nose and a full palate of aromas. Alcoholic fermentation lasted approximately six days after which it was pressed, settled and transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine was not racked from barrel only once over the nine-month maturation period, as preserving the freshness and fruit was key for the style we’re looking to produce
