2024 Pinot Noir
Medal One
Medal Two
Bright crimson in appearance, with a bouquet of violets, pomegranate fruits, a little rose petal lift, and a faint hint of smoky barrel char. An expansive flavoursome cherry fruit palate with a pinch of licorice spice that tames the fruit and adds complexity. Silky elegance is supported by a fine tannin structure, create a medium-bodied, restrained yet powerful Pinot Noir.

Winemaking
Grape sorting is paramount. Hand-picked fruit is chilled overnight before gentle processing the following day. A second pass on the sorting table precedes careful destemming into our signature small fermenters. Ferments are hand-plunged twice daily for minimal extraction, yielding a soft, fruit-driven palate. Gently pressed from skins and seeds, the wine then matures for 10 months in French oak (30% new).
