100% Casablanca Pinot Noir on free-draining sandy loam planted 4,000 vines/ha. Hand-harvested at 8 tonnes/ha, Destemmed, whole-berry cold soak before fermentation in small stainless steel tubs for 7 days with 3 manual plunge-downs per day. Post-ferment maceration on skins before pressing. Wine then placed directly to barrel for malo and further ageing prior to release. Suitable for vegetarians. The most beautiful smell – minty, herbal and bewitchingly fragrant. Pretty sweet taste and minty. Quite lovely! Alc 14%, TA 5.68g/l, pH 3.38. Available from Wine Direct and 15 branches. 15/10/2008 |
