WINEMAKER NOTES

The weather in 2022 was enough to give all of us whiplash! Another drought year, then spring frosts, a cool summer, and in mid-August the first of 2 hot spells with intermittent rain. We were pleased to have brought in the Pinot Noir on August 19, at 20.9 Brix on a nice foggy morning. The Pinot Noir was whole cluster pressed together and the press was stopped at 1.2 Bar when the color in the juice began to increase. The carefully settled juice was fermented with Actiflore Rose yeast and cold fermented in a stainless tank.
