2022 Small Lot Pinot Noir

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.

Best served near 14° C with Coq au vin, braised duck with porcini and semolina or a charcuterie plate of mild cheeses, figs and paté.
