Description
This wine is a blend of the 5 Pinot Noir vineyards (lieu-dits); Vertex, Ironstone, Chicory, Kilnside and Basalt.
Each vineyard was picked and vinified separately. The fruit was first chilled and then sorted and destemmed into concrete vats with a small (3-5%) selection of whole bunches. A cold soak followed by natural fermentation completed in vat before pressing after 25-30 days on skins. The wines were raised in a mix of new and older French oak barriques. Malolactic conversion completed late spring and the wine spent a total of 11 months in barrel before bottling. Diam 30 closure.
