2024 Reserve Pinot noir

Bright ruby hue with intense red cherry, Smokey mineral tones and pastry flavours from gentle blonde oak. Richly textured with vibrancy of acidity, this is a wine of volume, drive and complexity. Pinot noir from three rows of our vineyard was selected through rigorous blind quality-identification tastings. Handpicked, 100% MV6 clone. Cold-soaked for 5 days before slowly warming for a 19-day fermentation. Pressed direct to French oak barricades (22% new) for 10 months of élevage on MLF lees. Racked clear and bottled.
