The grapes are sourced from well-established, premium blocks in our vineyards in the Pipers Brook and Tamar Valley regions, which typically produces growing conditions that provide pinot noir with the classic soft expressive aromatics and balanced raspberry and cherry fruit flavors. VITICULTURE The vines are meticulously hand-tended and grown on Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP ) trellis which helps to expose the ripening bunches to the sun, thus achieving full ripeness and well-balanced flavours and fine tannins. WINEMAKING Our aim with this wine is to bring out all the sensual flavours of pinot noir. The grapes are transported to the winery at Pipers Brook where they are fermented in open vats and macerated on skins for up to 18 days. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels in cool, underground cellars for 11-12 months prior to bottling.
