The growing season and ‘22 vintage was undoubtedly cooler, so the wine displays savory hints underneath lovely regional fruit in a lighter, finer boned package.

A 50/50 blend of 2 Pinot Noir clones, MV6 and 115, all fruit was destemmed and after a short cold soak, the grapes were fermented evenly for 11 days before pressing to tank then racking to barrel for MLF and maturation.
After only 6 months in oak (5% new) we opted to bottle without fining, but lightly filtered to provide a little gloss and mouthfeel. Due to this vineyard elevation being nigh on 900m up, we find there’s a ‘natural acid tingle’ keeping the wine lively whilst remaining soft and moresish to the finish.
