First Vines Pinot Noir 2022
Made with complete transparency, our intention was to simply showcase exceptional fruit from our oldest vines, in an outstanding vintage. Using no whole bunch or new oak, the tannins in this Pinot Noir are entirely fruit derived. Pinot Noir grapes from our first planted vines were handpicked and small batch fermented in neutral barrique with no additions. Composed from barriques identified in the winery as exceptional with 80% Sarah’s Block Pinot Noir, the wine spent 16 months in oak prior to bottling. Neither fined nor filtered, it was bottled at Terra Sancta under cork and wax.
