WINEMAKING

The Pinot Noir fruit was selectively handpicked from 40-year-old vines.

Gently destemmed and cold-soaked for 7 days.

Slowly fermented for a further 14 days, then gently pressed into a mixture of new and 2-year-old French Oak barrels. ​

TASTING NOTE

This small-batch Pinot Noir opens with lifted aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of rose petal, spice and forest floor. The palate is elegant and bright, showcasing vibrant red fruits, a silky texture, and finely woven tannins that glide effortlessly.

A touch of subtle oak adds gentle warmth and structure, while natural acidity brings freshness and balance. The finish is smooth and lingering, offering notes of cranberry, soft spice and earthy nuance.

A beautifully crafted, expressive Pinot Noir—approachable now yet refined enough to evolve with short-term cellaring.
