Description
Region: Bendigo Hills, Central Otago, New Zealand.
Winemaking: The clone 10-5 Pinot Noir from our Trig Hill vineyard was hand harvested and whole bunched pressed. The free run juice was then settled for 24 hours before being racked into a mix of seasoned oak barrels and stainless-steel barrels for fermentation. After a short warm fermentation, the wine was left on full lees and underwent indigenous MLF in spring. The wine was then tirage bottled and matured for 4.5 years prior to disgorging.
Tasting Notes: Complex nose with aromas of wild berry, red apple and white spice supported by yeast derived baked dough characters. The palate is rich and creamy with concentrated flavours of strawberry, red apple and toast.
Technical: Alcohol - 13.5%. pH - 319g/l. TA - 7.5 g/l. RS - 3.5 g/l. Contains sulphites. Certified organic.
Winemaker: Allan McWilliams.
