Exclusively Pinot Noir from the prestigious Kayena Vineyard on West Tamar. A range of clones, including MV6, Pommard and 114, are assembled for complexity. A harvest of excellent condition with good ripeness and vivacious varietal fruit characters is delivered to the winery in pristine condition. Grapes are destemmed and left to cold soak for several days. Vinification takes place in open fermenters whilst being regularly pumped. Once dry, the ferment is passed through a basket press to barrel, a proportion is treated to post ferment maceration. Malolactic is followed by twelve months maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barriques.
