From The Winery

The Wine
An attractive cherry red colour with aromas of plum and spice showing upfront sweet cherry and plum fruit flavours. The finish is soft and long.

The Grapes
Pinot Noir makes some of the most famous wines in the world, but is a challenging variety; temperamental in the vineyard and needs nurturing in the winery. Picked from our best vineyard the grapes ripened slowly and evenly to result in great fruit quality.

The Winemaking
The grapes were de-stemmed and pumped through a chiller into the fermentation vessel at 5°c and cold soaked for 36hrs before yeast was added. Cold soaking is a winemaking technique used to increase the red berry characters in the wine. After the addition of yeast, the wine was fermented on skins for 5 days before pressing out. A portion of the wine was matured in French oak before blending and bottling.

With Food
An excellent choice with an antipasto plate, light tomato based pasta and almost any duck dish.
