Description
This Estate Pinot 2022 has a large proportion of fruit from some of our finest sites, with nearly half the grapes coming from the two best Blocks 1-2, planted with PN777 clone and another 17% from Block 3 with the same material and slightly deeper soil. Another 31% is sourced from two blocks of the very structural PN 943, at the top center and middle of the highest blocks.

The fruit was sorted in the vineyard, handpicked, then wild-yeast fermented in medium sized concrete and stainless-steel tanks. The Estate Pinot had 19% whole cluster fermentation. The rest of the fruit was destemmed with only whole berries selected for the final wine. The grapes are sorted first in the vineyard and then by hand and machine at the crush pad. Bins of whole berries are carried by forklift to the stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation is spontaneous with wild yeast as is malolactic. Punch downs are done by traditional pigeage. After fermentation, the Estate Pinot Noir 2022 was aged in a combination of 25% new and 75% old French oak barriques for 12 months and four in tank, prior to bottling.
