Ivan Donaldson uses traditional Burgundian winemaking methods to make this wine. By Picking the various blocks at different stages, depending on their maturity, the principle aim is for a range of red and dark fruit flavours.
Approximately one quarter of the grapes were put at the bottom of the fermentation vats as whole bunches, with the balance being destemmed on top, retaining as many whole berries as possible.
Rich and quite complex pinot noir with plum, wood smoke, liquorice, mixed spice and nutty oak flavours. Accessible now but with obvious cellaring potential, A robust and slightly rustic wine that's a pleasure to taste. 26 MAR 2020 Drink 2020–2026
