Stargazer Rada Pinot Meunier Pinot Noir 2025
, Pinot Noir , Gamay The tribute to legacy of Rada Penfold - 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Gamay
All the Pinot Noir was destemmed while both the Gamay picks underwent carbonic maceration for 10 days prior to being destemmed and fermented out. The Pinot Noir parcels were cold soaked for three days prior to being warmed up for wild ferment (by indigenous yeasts) which lasted for about seven days prior to being pressed to tank. Racked off gross lees to older Francois Freres and Ermitage French oak puncheons the next day with six months in oak on fine lees prior to preparing for bottling.
A balance of rosewater and spicy Bing cherry fruit on the nost backed by some savoury white miso undertones.
Lithe and bright with a firm acid line on the palate, laced with silty and chewy tannins. There is a persistent, grounded finish but with an inviting suppleness.
