Greystone Pinot Noir 750ml

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Our approach is as simple, natural, and traditional as possible After careful hand-picking and sorting, each parcel of fruit is allowed to soak on skins at ambient temperatures to allow for a wild fermentation. We gently hand-plunged each vat daily, and postfermentation each vat was left on skins for approx. 3-4 weeks before pressing. The wine was then aged for 16 months in Burgundian French Oak barriques of which 25 % were new. In line with our traditional approach to winemaking, each barrel completed a natural malolactic fermentation prior to our final barrel selection and blending. The wine was then blended and spent a further 4 months in tank prior to being estate bottled unfined and unfiltered.

TASTING NOTES

Crushed dark berries rise on the nose, with dried herbs and a floral lift adding nuance. The palate is deep and mouth-filling, carried by taut tannins and a thread of spice. A seductive length unfolds slowly, shaped by the Omihi hillsides of the Greystone Vineyard.

Alc: 14%
