2021 Auntsfield Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Each of the Auntsfield Single Vineyard wines show the distinctive characteristics of ripeness, texture and minerality – qualities unique to the ancient Greywacke rock and Loess clay soils of the vineyard.

This wine was made with a minimalist philosophy, designed to reveal the characteristics of the grapes and the vineyard. The fruit was hand-harvested, hand-sorted, gently destemmed and gravity-fed to tank. Fermented with indigenous yeast from Auntsfield vineyard. Careful hand plunging was utilised to gently extract flavours and tannins from the skins. Maturation occurred in French oak barriques for approximately 10 months.

Pairing Suggestions: 

Tasting Note: Fragrant black cherry and rich plum fruit is subtly lifted by layers of dark red florals and complex savoury forest floor, dark chocolate, cigar box. The palate of this wine shows the concentration and elegance of the vintage. Pure flavours of berry fruit and dark plum fill the palate. This fruit is supported by finely polished tannins giving a plush yet silky texture with seamless length.
