Crafted around a backbone of intensely flavoured, estate grown fruit, supported by hand chosen parcels from exceptional vineyards around Redhill. A combination of mature rootstock and meticulous vineyard management are essential to the ultimate quality of wine. Crop thinning to reduce yields while maximizing quality of harvest is central to the viticultural program. Vines are trellised to the Lyre system, which allows them to find their own natural balance. Bunches of Pinot Noir are completely destemmed into traditional, open top, two tonne fermenters, for a decidedly Burgundian style of vinification, followed by a term of eleven months on lees in a high proportion of new French oak barrels.
