Vinification
The Sherwood Pinot Noir is made in a style that genuinely reflects the Pinot Noir grape. Most of the blend is tipped into open top fermentation tanks for pre ferment soak prior to the fermentation starting naturally with indigenous yeast, another portion is tank fermented with pump over,then a very small portion is kept as whole berries and sealed for carbonic maceration fermentation. Once the fermentations have finished, a partial micro oxygenation is started which helps the wine to remain softer and rounder earlier.
Aged in French Oak barrels for 12 months.
Wine was slightly filtered before bottling.
Production
10,000 (9-liter cases)
