This Pinot Noir features fruit from our second estate, Decouverte Vineyard. The grapes are handpicked in the heart of the rolling landscape of the Dundee Hills wine region and defined by the red-fruit character and freshness typical of their volcanic Jory soils. At The Winery, the grapes are hand-sorted, and fermentation and maceration take place in small lots, to retain the natural, original character of the site and vintage. Cold and wet winter and spring brought a late flowering (end of June). However, the summer was one of the warmest (a new record in August), giving very good condition of maturation.
We started the harvest on September 28th with ripe and complex grapes of Pinot Noir. A nice and brilliant color for this wine, with an expressive nose of cherry, blackberries, wild mint, fresh licorice, and noble wood. Vibrant and energetic, the palate reveals a subtle balance and elegant floral notes. The finale is mineral-driven, expressing the complexity of the Jory soil.
