Individual parcels of Pinot Noir are hand harvested and destemmed for fermentation in tank. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts from our organically farmed vineyard drive the fermentation. Time on skins is monitored by taste and the ferments are gently plunged daily. Pressing off and barrelling down into French oak barriques (20% new). Natural malolactic fermentation in barrel occurs and completes in spring or before. The wine is aged on lees and racked prior to the next harvest for blending and bottling.
