Hand-harvested. This wine was started as a rolling ferment with the Pinot Noir fruit being picked first to spend 3 days on skins to gain some colour. A pied du cuve (vineyard ferment starter) was added to this parcel off fruit to begin wild fermentation. The remaining varieties were all picked 4 days later & whole bunch pressed with the Pinot Noir into stainless steel tank. Settled overnight & transferred to neutral French oak puncheons to finish fermentation. Blended after 7 months in barrel & settled for 2 months in stainless steel tank. Bottled unfined/unfiltered with a small SO2 addition.
Treat this wine like a rose, best served cold.
