Description / Reviews
"Picked at a point where the primary fruits were bright and fresh. We harvested in small batches with a different fermentation management program for each. By no means was this wine treated any less than our most expensive wines. Whole bunch, destemmed, pressed early, pressed late… Pinot Noir is about layers and we assist this by variation in our processes. All ferments were gently pressed into old oak barrels. After malo-lactic fermentation the wine underwent minimal finning with a small amount of Sulphur added prior to bottling. Pure fresh primary fruits dominate with underlying tannins and acidity providing great support for this excellent example of early release café style Pinot Noir." - Winemaker Notes
"Raspberry, strawberry, some nutty nougat oak and spice. It’s a lively and juicy wine, red fruit, a slightly minty and sappy edge, strawberry and milk chocolate, a dusty feel to tannin, some dried herb, with a fresh finish of good length. Easy-going and good drinking all up." - 91 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
