A warm, dry spell gave way to a long Indian summer, nurturing berries of intense concentration while preserving vibrant freshness. Hand-picked at perfect ripeness, the fruit has yielded a Pinot Noir of remarkable depth, purity, and character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHans’ Winemaking Comments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NZ\"\u003eThe pristine fruit was destemmed, with 80% retained as whole berries, and underwent several days of cold soak under dry ice to prevent oxidation and encourage spontaneous fermentation. This careful process enhances colour, aroma, flavour, and supple tannins, creating a silky mouthfeel. Fermentation then proceeded slowly and naturally, without cultured yeasts or additives, allowing the grape’s true essence and terroir to shine. After 21 days on the skins, the young wine was gently pressed into French Allier barriques for malolactic fermentation. Aged 24 months in barrique, it emerges as a wine built for the cellar. Unfined and unfiltered (vegan), it preserves its full integrity and purity.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage opens with intense aromas of ripe dark berries, cherries, violets, and subtle warm spices. The palate is vibrant and expressive, with supple, silky tannins supported by a fine, savoury acidity. Elegant and layered, it finishes long and persistent, reflecting both complexity and the potential to age gracefully for years to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 395.2px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 55.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 55.2px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariety\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 55.2px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir (Clones - UDC6; Dijon 667, 777; Swiss 10\/5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRootstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3309 \/ SO4 \/ Riparia Gloire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVine Planted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1996\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 55.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 55.2px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 55.2px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShallow (\u0026lt;45 cm) well drained sandy and gravelly soil with clay-sand patches from stony alluvium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting Density\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose planted at 5,500 vines\/ha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYield\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2t\/ha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResidual Sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003enone, \u0026lt;1g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgeing Potential\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10+ years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35.0431%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"264\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottles Produced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.7771%; height: 35.6px;\" width=\"635\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e156 cases\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Matching Suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry and elegant, our Pinots are a sommelier’s favourite for effortless food pairing.
