A number of small fermenters with varying percentages of the whole bunch from none to 100% to add layers and lift. Hand plunged and gently pressed before gravity filling to barrels for Malolactic fermentation in the underground cellar. A highly perfumed aroma of violets, the fruit profile of vibrant red and dark cherries. A hint of stalk heightens the spice element sitting in the medium-weighted silky characteristic of Pinot noir. A very refreshing elegant fruit palate. Some stalk tannin and minimal new oak (20%) offer background structure and support the fruit.
