This cuvée is sourced from the original 1989 plantings of Pinot Noir - MV6 & Morillon Clones (Morillon Clone is vine material sourced from Best’s original Pinot Noir vineyard a Swiss clone). Only one barrel has been kept seperate, meaning there’s only a mere 22 dozen produced of this wine produced. Each vintage we always keep each individual block seperate through fermentation & élevage, it's always an important & fascinating experience to see the differences between each block as they go through the the different stages. Harvested on the 1/4/22, all destemmed into one open concrete 3000L fermenter, spontaneous fermentation via our indigenous yeast, pump overs once a day, basket pressed 12/04/2022, transferred into 228L barriques of various coopers, topped monthly, sulphur added post malo in November, racked from barrels in late march 2023 no fining or filtering, bottled on 3/10/23. A small amount of sulphur post malo & pre bottling.- Owen Latta, Winemaker.
