Description
Though it is a relatively young vineyard, Bedford Estate is planted with top three Pinot Noir clones, Abel, Dijon 777 and Dijon 943. Grapes were harvested and fermented by clone to unleash the full potential of each clone before they were blended and bottled. This method gave rich depth and complexity to the wine.
This wine bursts with freshness, exhibiting a distinct sense of place through its mineral core of crushed stones and subtle limestone notes. Red cherries, plums, and raspberries create a vibrant fruit bouquet, with oak nuances fading as the wine breathes. On the palate, it's textured, youthful, and dry, with fine tannins and a polished, persistent finish. The interplay of pinosity and texture, along with a harmonious blend of flavors, resonates on the palate, leading to a lingering and satisfying conclusion.
