Pinot Noir 777 Clone
Original vines from Côte-d’Or, France in the heart of Burgundy. The 777 clone wines have intense aromas are well structured with high colour and fine round tannins with good ageing potential.
Harvested by hand, grapes were destemmed and fermented in seasoned oak puncheons (500l barrels). The grapes were gently hand plunged 2-3 times a day on skins for 40 days in before pressing to 25% new French Oak & seasoned oak barrels for maturation and partial malolactic fermentation.

Such a complex array of fruity and savoury flavours, soft acids and tannins, such as those in the 2023 Colour Series Pinot Noir 777 make it a great pairing with meals that can also boast complex flavours and aromatics. Dishes like Greek souvlaki, or tomato-based sauces will complement and soften the acids and bright red fruit flavours in the wine, whilst dishes with stronger savoury or roasted elements , such as roast chicken, mushrooms, or bacon compliment the savoury spice flavours and tannins in the wine.
