Vinification
The favorite wine to make as it really extends all of their skills from working with the small open top fermentation tanks, which allow for constant hand plunging of the grape skins (a small wooden plunger constantly pushes the skins below the surface of the juice) to selecting a variety of different French oak barrels that the wine will mature in for more than twelve months.
The real skill is in the blending, as not all the barrels will make the grade for our top Pinot Noir. Days are spent tasting and re-tasting barrels and blends looking for the elusive blend that conveys the smooth velvet texture of Pinot Noir.
Wine was slightly filtered before bottling.

Pairings
