White Pinot Noir 2023
Description
The wine presents a light gold colour, with subtle red fruit aromas of strawberry and red cherries with a hint of acacia and black pepper, this leads a deliciously rounded succulent palate balanced by beautifully clean acidity. The wine somehow both cleanses and envelopes on the finish

Viticulture
Sustainable, regenerative agriculture with integrated pest management. 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes from our vineyard were handpicked, and pressed in October.
Vinification
100% Pinot Noir, the grapes from our vineyard were handpicked, and pressed in October. After low temperature fermentation to accentuate the thiol aromas the wine was left in tank over winter but not allowed to go to malolactic fermentation, the juice was very clear and required minimal fining and developed a rich aroma of red fruits with a soft creamy palate with crisp acidity. The wine was bottled in March 2024.
