WineMaking Notes
Individual berry-sorting by hand prior to destemming without crushing. Whole berries were transferred without pumping to the fermentation tanks, then cold maceration at 12°-14°C for 5-6 days. Fermentation starts spontaneously with some batches inoculated with selected strains of Burgundian yeast to complete the sugar-to-alcohol conversion. The skincap was punched through by hand at least 3 times per day.
Tasting Notes
This wine has a classic, evocative garnet color with aromas of dark fruit and wild-brush. Tastes of sour-cherry and cranberry are present, with a hint of rose-petal. This medium-bodied wine is fresh and alert, with the soft edges and supple tannins elevating the flavors to delicious heights of Pinot Noir pleasure. Crafted to drink and enjoy now.
