"Mollyduker" Pinot Noir

Light cherry red in colour showing vibrant cherry, wild strawberry, hints of earthy mushroom and forest floor. Light, delicate flavours balanced acidity and with silky tannin leaving a lovely savoury finish. Enjoy at room temp or chill it in warmer months.

Handpicked Pemberton Pinot Noir, fermented with 30% whole bunches for complexity. Cold soaked to extract colour then lightly foot trod and pumped over for 15 days before pressing to seasoned puncheons. A short maturation of 8 months before being filtered and bottled. Light oak handling and delicate handling during ferment has resulted in a delicate, yet flavourful wine with elegance and bright fruit.
