Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Subtle smokiness and bright fruit on the nose & palate.
Vineyard Notes
Shoot thinning is
performed early in the year; after fruit set, leaves are removed in the
fruit zone on the east side of the vines. Later, the clusters are counted
and thinned to a maximum of 28 clusters per vine. Once the grapes have
achieved 75% color, a final cluster thinning is performed to remove any
green or second crop clusters. The average yield is 2 tons per acre.
Production Notes
Fermented 15% whole cluster, and only moved with gravity.
Winemaker Notes
Coming from a barrel selection from our 13 estate acres of pinot noir in the dundee hills.
