2022 Maressa Pinot Noir - Mornington Peninsula Vic.
Selectively harvested then cold soaked for up to 3 days prior to 100% whole berry fermentation in open pot vessels. Gently hand plunged during ferment for controlled flavour and tannin extraction. Predominantly ferments were inoculated with a Burgundian selection of yeast strain, with some batches allowed to ferment naturally. 9-10 months barrel maturation in 15% new French oak (60% puncheon and 40% barriques) prior to bottling. 12.8% Alc/Vol. Tasting Notes: An intensely fruited and perfumed aromatic profile combines dark cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry notes. A structurally generous and gratifying palate offers both clarity of fruit expression and drive.
