What’s In It: 100% Pinot Noir
How It Was Made:
The grapes were gently crushed and the juice run into small, open-top fermenters and held cold for five days’ maceration. The vats were then inoculated with a specially selected, cultured yeast to trigger fermentation. During fermentation the wine was either hand-plunged or pumped over to gently extract colour, tannin and flavour. The resulting wines were left on skins for around seven days post-ferment before pressing to predominantly old French oak barriques (just 5% new). The wine was blended after ten months maturation in barrel.
