Description
Winemaker Notes: The Pinot Noir fruit was entirely hand picked and de-stemmed before being gravity fed into the fermentation vessels. 15% of the fermentation was comprised of whole bunches. The fermentations utilised natural occuring yeast populations under carefully monitored conditions. The grape skins were gently plunged with an average of 18 days skin contact. After fermentation the Cloudy Bay New Zealand Pinot Noir was matured in French oak for 12 months, of which 35% was new. VINTAGE MAY VARY.
