Vineyard

Fruit sourced from two high density planted, low yielding vineyards in Marlborough's Southern Valleys

Vinification

Fruit was gently de-stemmed as soon as it arrived at the winery, then gravity-fed to open top fermenters to keep the fruit intact. Cold soaking for seven to nine days allowed early development of colour and flavour prior to fermentation. The wine was macerated for fourteen days before being basket pressed. The free-run juice was aged in 300L French oak barrels for twelve resulting in a complex, full-bodied Organic Pinot Noir.
