Winemaking Notes
Wild Earth Pinot Noir 2022 is a Central Otago blend that represents the best attributes of the excellent 2022 vintage. The fruit was hand-harvested at optimal ripeness with harvest dates ranging from late March to late April 2022. Several different ferments went into the blend ranging from 0-40% whole bunches per fermenter with the resulting blend having around 22% whole bunch, which aids the tannin structure and aromatics of the wine. The total time on skins ranges from 18-28 days. The wine was aged in fine-grain French oak barrels (20% new) for approximately 12 months. Our winemaker, Jen Parr, selected fruit from exceptional Central Otago vineyards in Pisa, Bendigo, Gibbston and Bannockburn showcasing the high quality of the season.
