Tasting Notes
Camelia-pink with coral highlights, this wine offers a rich and complex nose of berries, pomegranate, and black tea leaves, with an elegantly structured palate featuring vibrant acidity and a graceful suite of tannins from the macerated Pinot Noir.
Cultivation
Hand-harvested during the second to third week of August.
Vinification
A portion of the Pinot Noir undergoes gentle pressing with must fractioning (white), while another receives 24hr cold pre-maceration, then pressing (rosé). Musts ferment in stainless steel, then mature 6 months on the lees. A small amount is vinified as a red wine, macerating for ~7 days. The cuvée is assembled the following spring, 100% same vintage. Second fermentation in the bottles.
Aging
Maturation on the lees in the bottle for a minimum of 5 years, followed by an additional 6 months after disgorgement and filtration.
