Winemaking Notes
The Pinot Noir clones are unknown and include 10% Pinot Meunier, planted at Cullarin by Dr Edgar Riek in 1971. 75% of the grapes were lightly crushed and 25% left whole bunch in a 3 tonne open fermenter. Plunging occurred twice a day during the alcoholic fermentation. The wine was then aged in older French oak barriques for 8 months. No fining nor filtration occurred before bottling in December 2022.
