2022 Devotus Aprentis of Devotus Pinot Noir, Martinborough

Aprentis of Devotus expresses the youngest vines of the site. They are 10-23 years of age with a range of clonal material including Dijon (667, 777, 114 & 115), Abel and Pommard. After careful sorting 10% of the whole bunches were included in the ferment which followed 2 days of cold maceration. Wild fermentation was carried out over a course of 12 days before the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak for 10 months.  

Lifted black currant on the nose. Bright, rich, with notes of flint and conserves on the palate. Fine tannin. Overall style is one of low intervention, a pure expression of the 2022 vintage, of the Martinborough Terrace, and particularly of the vineyard.
