Greystone Wines
Vineyard Ferment Cork Pinot Noir 2020 750ml

Rolls out of glass with lift and complexity of Indian spices (cumin, turmeric), sandalwood, berry and herbs. Palate is exquisite and long with delicacy and tension. Flow of cherry and red berry wrapped in earth and mild char.

VITICULTURIST’S NOTES

"A warm, wet spring gave our vines a great start to the season. This warm weather continued through to flowering and the rain dried up for a great fruitset. Careful hand management helped create an open vineyard canopy to ensure airflow and sunlight into the fruit zone. Summer came through in the new year with a particularly dry & hot February, bringing us into harvest with pristine fruit that had great concentration, complexity and even ripening. Our Vineyard Ferment is made from Dijon clones 115, 667, and 777 on our north facing clay slopes. All organically managed and hand harvested.
