The 2024 growing season was exceptional, with warm September conditions allowing for optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and balance. Biodynamically farmed since 2008, our Estate Vineyard continues to express its unique sense of place through wines of depth, elegance, and complexity.
Native yeast fermentation, gentle extraction, and 10% whole cluster inclusion contribute to the wine’s structure and nuance. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir offers beautiful approachability in its youth with the ability to evolve for 10+ years. Decanting is recommended when enjoying now.
TASTING NOTES
The typicity of our Estate vineyard terroir shines through in this excellent vintage. Dark ruby red, there’s plenty of black cherry and plum fruit along with spice and black tea notes, plus a touch of mossy forest floor. Dense and even muscular for the vintage. Shows a vibrant feel andbright texturewith layers of sweet dark cherries that glide across the palate. All leading to well-endowed finish with dusty tannins. Needs time to harmonize. We suggest decanting this vintage in its youth. Drink now & over the next 5+ years.
