Thorne & Daughters, teknisk ark/fact sheet (thorneanddaughters.com – linket fra thorneanddaughters.com, hentet 2026-10-18): 2020 Thorne & Daughters Copper Pot – område: Western Cape; druer: Pinot Noir; alkohol 14.2%. Producentens noter (engelsk): About the wine: THE WINE Our 2020 Pinot noir is sourced from a handful of vineyards in the Overberg region, where good soils (predominantly clay/shale and quartz/sandstone) and cool growing conditions combine to produce wonderful Pinot noir that is both rich and perfumed. We also source from a small parcel of organically farmed Pinot noir in the Bottelary hills on decomposed granite soil. Pinot noir has always played a role in our work in wine and it is a grape that we are very passionate about. We try to be as precise as possible when we pick the grapes, allowing for a generous fruit maturity without losing the freshness and tension that we love in the wines. Our winemaking is as minimal as possible. All our ferments take place using wild yeasts, and we don't use any additives (other than minimal SO2 at crush and during maturation). 40-60% of whole clusters are used in the fermentation to bring a natural structure and savouriness to the wines. Extraction is kept very gentle using a combination of pump-overs and punchdowns, and the wines spend about 30 days on skins in total to allow a gentle evolution of their structure. The wines are matured for 9 months in a mix of older small French oak barrels to avoid a dominant oak character, and round out their structure before blending and bottling. Our focus during maturation is to retain a brightness and clarity of fruit that we really appreciate in Pinot noir.
