100% Pinot Noir from high density plantings on low-vigour rootstocks. Grapes were hand-picked in late-August to early-Sept in the early morning into small bins and hand-sorted before a gentle destemming. During the initial fermentation the wine was punched down by hand in small, 5-tonne open-top fermenters. Gently pressed off skins, gravity racked to barrels and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation. Aged in mostly new and 2nd and 3rd fill French oak for 12 months. Winemakers Terry Adams and Michelle McClendon. Alc 14.5%, TA 6.06g/l, pH 3.46, RS 0.83g/l. £21.99 from 22/06. Special Offer: £20.99 - £15.99, Save £5.00 from 25/05 to 21/06. Available from Waitrose Wine Direct and 239 branches. Dark berry fruits. Nice spicy taste. Good. Fruity and varietally correct. 24/05/11 |
