2008 Pinot Noir Clonal Blend

This is the second release of our favourite blend of  Pinot Noir. This is a blend of clones from across the vineyard. It has a dark ruby colour with a nose of dark cherries. The palate is very long commencing with bright red berry flavours that move seamlessly to dark berry fruits and a hint of spice. In our opinion this is the finest expression of Pinot Noir yet seen from our vineyard.

Food match: Roast Duck

For the first time this wine contains fruit from our latest grafts - the Pommard clone of Pinot Noir. This wine contains almost even amounts of each of our 6 Pinot clones. The bunches were destemmed and the whole berries had a 7 day prefermentation cold soak before the wild yeast started the fermentation. The wine was aged in 60% new French oak and 40% 2nd use casks.
