Découverte Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019 3 x Magnums 3x150cl

Elegant yet structured, the wine is complex on the nose and palate with classic Pinot Noir aromas and flavours and a long finish.

Vineyards

From 6ha vineyard that sits in a 'bow', protected from the winds which pass over the ridge. Organically dry-farmed.

Vintage

A warm spring created great weather conditions for bloom in early June leading to a sunny and cool summer, perfect for classic Oregon Pinot noir. After a dry August, significant precipitation in September meant picking between rainfalls, with harvest between September 19th and October 2nd. Meticulous sorting and care in the cellar allowed us to capture all of the greatness of the growing season, revealing elegant structure and alluring aromas in the wine. A surprise to many given the rain, 2019 is turning out to be one of the best vintages in recent memory.

Winemaking

Traditional Burgundian vinification, followed by 17 months ageing in French oak barrels of which 30% are new.

Enjoy with:

Great with roast lamb or game dishes, or vegetable terrine.
