Pinot Noir grapes are thin-skinned.Originating in Burgundy, France, Pinot Noir has a long history of cultivation;the earliest record it of is during the 1st century A.D. and at that period the grape was known as Pinot Vermei. Pinot Noir is now widely planted throughout Bourgogne, France, the USA and New Zealand.

Wine Notes

Working with small lots of Pinot Noir from our estate vineyard, we created an alluring, sexy and delicious rendition of a classic wine. The wine, being rich in texture, showing greatvis cosity, a long finish and elegant tannins, is drinkable in its youth, but would benefit from some cellaring or extended decanting. Vinified with particular attention paid to its varietal character, this wine is a solid representation of our estate vineyard’s endless potential.
