Pinot Noir and 1/3 of the Pinot Gris was de-stemmed. The remaining 2/3 of the Pinot Gris was pressed whole bunch. The pressed juice from the Pinot Gris was returned to the tank of de-stemmed grapes. Due to the ripe nature of the vintage careful fruit handling was critical to prevent over extraction, the tank was only plunged once to keep the fermentation happy. Pressed out after 4 weeks and allowed to go through malolactic naturally. Rested in stainless steel on lees for 14 months and bottled in February 2024.
