2008 Pinot Noir
This years Pinot is 100% MV6, from our Merricks Grove vineyard. We prefer MV6 for its intensity and savoury characters and four parcels were selected from differing aspects and soil types.
Each component was fermented separately in small open fermenters using indigenous yeasts. We aim for 17-21 days on skins depending on the vintage and tannin profile. The components were matured for a further nine months in small French oak barrels with 10% being new Francois Freres Troncais. This wine was bottled in January and shows the youthfulness, vitality and reserve that we look for in our young Pinots.
