Pinot Noir 12.5%
Altona, VIC

Picked on the 26th of April. Destemmed without crushing and soaked at 4C for 4 days with two pump overs daily. Left to undergo natural ferment and kept at 22C for 3 weeks at which point it was pressed off just before it was dry. Left to complete fermentation, settled racked and then transferred to 95% old french oak and 5% new Hungarian oak hogshead. 10 months resting in oak and then the blend was put together at which point it was racked once more prior to bottling. Unfined, unfiltered with a small addition of sulphur. The most delicate Pinot we've produced from this magical vineyard, aromas of plum skin and capocolla with palate of blueberry, violet and raw forest mushroom. Best enjoyed with a good source of proper San Daniele prosciutto drizzled with a lighter expression of local EVOO. - Konpira Maru
