Varietal Pinot Noir
Cepage 100% Pinot Noir
Winemaking The grapes were hand-harvested throughout the month of September, as each block achieved ripeness and flavor development. The fermentation tanks were chilled for a four-day “cold soak” - designed to extract color and flavor from the grape must. About 40% of the lot was fermented by native yeasts and 60% by inoculating the grapes with commercial yeast. Pinot Noir grapes require a gentle handling and therefore we performed three punchdowns a day, on each individual vineyard lot, to gently extract fruit and color. Tasting each tank daily, the team pressed the wine off its skins when the proper flavor and tannin structure was achieved. The wine was aged in French oak barrels (10% new) for 8 months prior to bottling, to obtain a final blend with added layers of complexity.
