Luscious Biodynamic Pinot Noir grapes have been fermented in a small clay amphora pot, with 50% whole bunches remaining. The result is an incredibly ethereal and silky expression of Pinot Noir, that is supported by layers of lush red fruits. The wine has been bottled unfined, unfiltered and free of sulphur. Winemaking Certified organic grapes were hand-picked in two batches. The first pick was placed directly into a small clay ( Amphora) pot, 100% whole bunches. The second pick was 100% destemmed and placed into an open puncheon. Both batches undertook fermentation naturally, and were mixed daily by hand. The fruit remained on skins, the total time being approximately 7 weeks, where both was covered and stored with no additions. Both components were pressed off using a small basket press, blended together, and transferred gently into two neutral barriques to age for another 7 months on lees and without any additions. The barrels were blended, ( resulting in a total whole bunch effect of 50%), and then rested in a small stainless steel vessel to clarify naturally, for two weeks prior to bottling. It was bottled without any stabilisation, fining or filtration, and without any added sulphur. Vintage Blessed with a glorious, dry Summer, 2019 harvest commenced remarkably early, on March 1st. Vintage 2019 will be remembered as relatively trouble free, and a long harvest period – after the last few years when all varieties ripened at once, the slow, steady and spread out nature of 2019 was welcomed. Wet conditions at flowering gave us loose and lighter bunches, the following hot dry summer allowed berries to ripen considerably faster. Fruit was harvested an optimum maturity with the intention to maintain fresh and vibrant acidity to balance concentration of the fruit. We completed harvest on April 13th! All in all, we feel very grateful for all that Vintage 2019 delivered exceptional conditions and resulting fruit quality and health. Viticulture / Provenance Sourced from our clay-rich hillside Raupo Creek vineyard, which as a gentle north-west facing aspect, settled in the centre of the Omaka Valley.
