Mt Difficulty Long Gully Pinot Noir 2017
Only
$84.99
Commercial Description:
The fruit for this wine was harvested on the 7th and 13th of April 2017. Upon
arrival at the winery, 70% of the bunches were destemmed, retaining 30% as
whole-cluster. After 8 days of pre-fermentation maceration and another 7-9
days of fermentation, we let the wine sit on skins 8-10 days further. The wine
was punched down a maximum of once daily before being pressed and racked to
French oak barrels (25% new) for 14 months. The wine was filtered prior to
bottling on the 14th of November 2018. Long Gully Pinot Noir is expected to age beautifully for 10-15 years with proper cellaring.
“Our 2017 Long Gully Pinot Noir is a bright, medium purple colour with crimson hues. Aromas and flavours of blackberry, dark cherry and wild herb are supported by dense texture and fine-grained tannins.” - Matt Dicey, Winemaker
13.9% ABV
