Winemaking Notes
Sourced from a 20-year old Pinot Noir planting of clone 115, from the Lincoln Lakeshore, historically used for sparkling/rosé production (since 2012). Hand-picked grapes were destemmed and cold soaked prior to being allowed to warm up and begin fermentation. Followed by a short maceration and drained straight to barrel. Aged in older French oak for 8 months on lees without stirring. Bottled late summer 2025 unfined and unfiltered and aged in bottle for nine months before release. Only 200 cases.
