After a short period of post-fermentation maceration the wine was drained off the skins and 100% of the lot was aged in French barriques for 12 months. Kept for 9 months in bottle at our controlled-temperature cellar before release.

In the glass: Our top Pinot Noir, offering gorgeous fruit and ending with a sense of opulence and finesse. Has a vibrant core of vivid raspberry, black cherry, plum, and anise, all gaining momentum as the full body rolls on. Ultra-fine tannins support the firm structure, finishing with cedary toasty oak, espresso notes, and our hallmark mineral finesse.

Recommended Cellaring: 3-10 years
