This is a structured and powerful Pinot Noir sourced entirely from the Butcher's Hill vineyard. The wine displays perfumed notes of spiced black cherry, dark fruits and tobacco leaf. Followed by a lovely balance of umami and red fruits underscored by impressions of pepper, macerated cherries, and cured meat. Finely boned tannin makes for a silky-smooth finish, along with a bright line of acidity.
The Butcher's Hill Pinot Noir is typically vinified in the following process. Using hand-picked fruit it receives approximately 35% whole bunch before undergoing a 10 day fermentation with 7 days post ferment maceration. It is typically matured in 25% new French oak barriques (Sirugue - fine grain, 36 month seasoning, medium toast) for 11 months.
