Tradition Pinot Noir 2019

The Place
Our Pinot Noir is sourced from the west-facing slopes of the Kozier vineyard. This site enjoys the perfect synergy of a warm microclimate with cool soils ensuring a long even ripening. Hand-harvested at just the right time to avoid overripening.
The Wine
This wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs and pressed after three weeks on skins. This Pinot Noir was aged in 15-20% new French oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting Notes & Food Pairing
The nose reveals a hint of fine oak followed by juicy red berries and kirsch with an underlying tone of “sous-bois” or forest floor which adds to its growing complexity. On the palate, the elegant fruit is in perfect balance with fine tannins and a poised finish. With cellaring potential, this wine pairs best with earthy meals and meats high in flavour. Lamb ragout or Duck confit anyone? Technical specifications here.
