Nose

Aromas of red
fruits overlay subtle floral and candied strawberry characters.

Palate

The
palate is deliberately savoury, with moderate weight, soft chalky tannins
and dry finish. The lees and wild ferment have provided a nice foil to
the lovely red berry fruit of the Pinot Noir.

Growing Conditions

The Season was warm with limited rain events and no heat spikes
giving perfect ripening conditions

Winemaking

After being chilled overnight to about 8 degrees the fruit was loaded into
the press, the press was rotated a few times and then the grapes sat for
three hours. We then pressed out the first 500 litres per tonnes into tank
and the second 120 litres per tonne into old French oak puncheons.
