2020 - Pinot Noir Available exclusively in mags (only around 100 magnums per vintage), the wine itself can change from vintage to vintage, depending on which special barrel Alex and Maria pick as the most vibrant and “Lemon-worthy”. A lovely rosehip nose and vivid acidity. Hand-picked whole bunches were put into a 750l open-top plastic vat, which was then driven back to the cellar. The constant addition of CO2 ensured a precise fermentation. After 6 days, the bunches were stomped and the skin contact extended up to 16 days. Pressed straight into old barriques (225L). Natural fermentation, no temperature control at any stage of winemaking, occasional batonnage. Matured on gross lees for several months without any additives. No fining, no filtration, no sulfites added, bottled by hand.
