2022 Small Lot Pinot Noir

Winemaker's Notes

The nose abounds with fruit: cherry, plum and blueberry, decorated by black tea, cinnamon sugar and lavender.  Bright and silky-smooth in the mouth, it tastes of black cherry, strawberry and spiced baked apple, with mid-palate vanilla and gentle spice persisting through the finish.

Made from grapes hand-picked in the third week of September, 70% from the Moira Vineyard at 20.9° Brix and 30% from the Mottiar Vineyard at 22.2° Brix.

The grapes were destemmed and vinified separately by site.  Post-fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked to French oak barrels to age for nine months.  After blending, 384 cases were bottled in July 2023.

At the time of bottling, the wine was measured at 12% alcohol, 0 grams per litre residual sugar, 6.2 grams per litre titratable acidity and 3.57 pH.

Dry: 0 g/L residual sugar
