Black cherries, and wild berries are complexed with oak derived spices including smoked bacon and cinnamon notes. Hints of game meats add another element. Limestone notes and briary spice add intrigue.

Charred dark cherry fruits flow onto a long and wide Pinot Noir. A velvet cake mid palate is encased with flowing tannins. Smokey notes add depth. A very long palate with fine acidity for balance.

FOOD MATCHING
Duck sausage roll, Pine mushroom Gnocchi, hard cheese.

VINIFICATION
Hand harvested fruit was carefully destemmed into small open fermenters. A natural ferment started after two days on skin. The open fermented was gently pumped over once a day for a week until the wine was dry. It was then gently pressed and sent to the underground cellar. Maturation was in new (20%) and used French oak Hogsheads for 9 months prior to racking and bottling in December 2021.
