2022 Ribbonwood Pinot Noir

WINE MAKING

Grapes from each vineyard were given a short, cold soak period before fermentation commenced.  Plunging was gentle and once a day with an aim to retain elegance in the wine.  Dry wines remained on skins until the tannin balance looked approachable.  Components were aged for seven months prior to being blended and bottled.

TASTE

Aromas of dark cherry, berry fruits and smoke.  Flavours of red fruit compote and mocha.  Juicy and fleshy in the mouth with soft tannins and persistent flavour.  Easy to drink on its own or to match with food.

FOOD MATCH

Lamb, duck, salmon, charcuterie.
