Rise 'N Shine Pinot Noir 2020

Aromatic, juicy raspberries with by hints of spice, followed by a palate of lacey tannins, vibrant red fruits, and lively wild bramble.

. Rise ‘N Shine is a select portion of our Trig Hill Vineyard which slopes North-east towards the morning sun. Seeking to delve deeper into our incredible sites, this lieu-dit expresses the majestic place where it is grown.

Our aim in the vineyard is to grow the best fruit we can so it can speak of its home and express its personality. To do this you need healthy vines and soil. By practicing organics and incorporating some biodynamic principles we believe we are doing our best to help achieve this and let our vineyards evolve and speak as they would like.

With gentle and meticulous care the fruit was hand-picked and hand-sorted before being destemmed into a 700L Italian Amphora with 25% whole cluster. A slow, cool spontaneous ferment followed, with a hand pigéage of the cap daily. After 27 days the wine was drained and gently pressed, before being returned to amphora for further aging. The wine was racked, settled, and bottled unfined and unfiltered in November 2021.
