The grapes for this Pinot Noir were grown in Marlboroughโs Omaka, Southern and Brancott Valleys, by five local grape farmers. At the winery Iโve used a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques in order to incorporate the benefits of both approaches. The fruit was de-stemmed into small nose open top fermenters and cold soaked for between 5 and 10 days, then fermented completely using indigenous yeast. Hand plunging during fermentation ensured a good extraction of colour and tannins. Portions of the blend remained on skins post fermentation, while others were pressed at dryness before being transferred to a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel for maturation.
