The Ned Pinot Noir 2022

A vivid bouquet of ripe berry fruits and dark sweet cherry is supported by a fragrant violet floral lift. The palate is fleshy and silky, boasting opulent tannins, black fruits and subtle notes of smoky French oak. This concentrated fruit driven style of Pinot Noir will be the perfect accompaniment to your favourite slow cooked meat dishes. Try alongside a beef brisket ragù and farfalle, topped with parmesan.

Ripe fruit was completely de-stemmed, but not crushed, with the aim of achieving a significant percentage of intact berries in the ferment. Individual batches were macerated cold prior to a five-day fermentation where the cap temperature was allowed to peak at between 30 – 32C. The wine remained on skins post fermentation to optimise tannin extraction whilst locking in the rich ruby colour. Drained and pressed; this wine was aged in a mix of stainless- steel tank and French oak puncheons for nine months during which time it underwent a complete malolactic fermentation.
