Hope Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Greenhough Hope Vineyard – Organic Wine – BioGro NZ Certified No.5119

750ml:      Alc 13.5%:     pH 3.64:     TA 5.2 g/L:     R/S <1 g/L (Dry)

Mature UCD5 is the basis of darker fruit notes, depth and concentration. Dijon clones 115 and 777 provide brighter, red-fruited berry characters. A high percentage of 100% whole-bunch fermentation enhances floral aromatics and energy.  The style seeks to express a complex range of fruit and process-derived aromas, flavours and textures.
Hand-picked.  Wild yeast fermented 28% whole bunch.  Un-fined and unfiltered. Certified organic. Vegan.
