Storm Ridge Pinot Noir 2009
|
| |
|
|
The Pinot Noir fruit for this wine comes from the central part of the Yarra Valley. The fruit was either
hand picked in the mornings or machine picked at night, thus keeping the fruit cool.
The fermentation took place in open fermenters with approximately 25% of the fruit being whole
berries. A small percentage of the fruit was held back from the initial ferment and added over the
next few days to extend the ferment. The cap was plunged four times a day during the process.
The fermented wine was placed into some new, 2,3 and 4 year old French oak, predominantly
Nevers and Alliers, and left for 10 months. .
The 2009 Pinot is rich intergrated Pinot Noir. The nose is a combination of sour cherries and stewed
plums with a hint of cedarery oak nuances in the background from maturation in older French oak.
The front palate is soft but full flavoured, showing mixed berry flavours and highlighting the cherry
spectrum. The Middle palate provides more opulent black cherry / sweet spicy plum flavours. The
back palate finishes long and silky and with gentle fruit tannins. Sealed with a screw cap to ensure
that every bottle retains that freshness.
