2021 Legacy Pinot Noir 12 Bottle Case

Legacy wines are only made when the vintage dictates the fruit quality is exceptional. A cool spring and summer presented pristine Pinot Noir grapes that ripened slowly over an extended period of time. The fruit was hand picked and the wine was made using old world wine making techniques, time and patience. The wine was bottle aged for 6 months before release.

Vine to Wine

Three clones of Pinot Noir grape were hand picked at optimal ripeness and transferred to the winery. The grapes were crushed into custom French oak Puncheons with large openings in the heads for earlier integration of oak characters and unique fermentation dynamics. Whole berries in the ferment lend to the wines’ delicate fruit notes while the additional heat of ferment brings savoury characters and richer tannin structure. The barrels were gently hand plunged. After pressing the wine was returned for maturation in the same barrels.

Pairs With

A complex palate, with a balance of red fruit flavours, soft acidity and earthy/savoury tannins from its time in barrel. The balanced flavours and mouthfeel will pair well with some light stews, and meats, such as duck, pork belly, chicken, also charred/roasted vegetables.
