WINEMAKING
Grapes are harvested by hand. Harvest begins in early September when optimal ripeness and flavor development have been achieved.
The grapes for Pinot Noir are crushed and de-stemmed, Cold soaked for 5 days before fermentation for elevated aromatics, color and fine structure.
Fermentation on the skins lasts 10 days, and afterward the wine is pressed and racked to French oak barrels.
Pinot Noir is aged 18 - 20 months in french oak barrels for structure and added complexity.
Pinot Noir is bottled, and aged on the cork for a minimum of 6 months, and then is ready to enjoy!
