Production notes
Grapes are hand harvested in September and October, de-stemmed but not crushed and then placed in open steel tanks. Fermentation is done with native yeast and the wine is aged in 15% new french oak for a period of 12 months before maturing on lees to obtain a final blend with added layers of complexity.
Tasting notes
On the nose, this wine offers elegant, bright aromas of cherry, plum and strawberry, with a hint of rose petal. On the palate, lush flavors of strawberry, cranberry and blueberry are accentuated with hints of spice and earth. The natural, structural acidity grants this wine a unique vibrancy, and it is an excellent partner to many different foods. The wine is medium bodied and has a long finish. A classic Pinot Noir that is true to its unique appellation.
