2024 Reserve Pinot noir
2024 Reserve Pinot noir
Bright ruby hue with intense red cherry, Smokey mineral tones and pastry flavours from gentle blonde oak. Richly textured with vibrancy of acidity, this is a wine of volume, drive and complexity.
Pinot noir from three rows of our vineyard was selected through rigorous blind quality-identification tastings. Handpicked, 100% MV6 clone. Cold-soaked for 5 days before slowly warming for a 19-day fermentation. Pressed direct to French oak barricades (22% new) for 10 months of élevage on MLF lees. Racked clear and bottled.
