Sharpham Estate Pinot Noir

Bursting with cherry fruit aromas. The palate is light yet supple, packed with juicy red fruits. Tannins are softened by time in oak and add gentle spice to this excellent Pinot.

The Pinot Noir fruit is part crushed and cold macerated for three days prior to the spontaneous fermentation with the inclusion of some whole bunch and stems. The fruit then spends a further nine days fermenting on skins before malolactic fermentation. This wine then spent 10 months in second fill French oak barrels prior to bottling without any fining or filtration.
