Winemaking.

Hand harvested and whole bunch fermented. The wine was gently foot stomped before being plunged three times a day. Post ferment it was pressed of skins and aged in new French oak for 6 months before being lightly fined and filtered.

Tasting Notes.

Complexing, dark brooding fruits allure with nuances of candy like red fruits imparted by the whole bunch fermentation. Vibrant, fresh and alluring.

Cellaring.

This wine will drink youth and age gracefully over the next 7 years.

Accolades.

"This Orange pinot region has a distinctive aromatic personality with wild strawberry, fresh sage and vibrant raspberry notes. The light-to-medium-weight palate is similarly expressive, underpinned by a strong scaffold of acidity. Cranberry and lilting herb accents persist on the finish. It is quite a tensioned, unique wine with character. It comes alive with food and air, where its sheer pure-fruited intensity comes into the fore."
