2023 Thousand Candles Gathering Field Nouveau Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley

100% Pinot Noir

A light bodied, highly perfumed Pinot Noir with lifted cherry and strawberry aromas.

As soon as the fruit for this wine is picked it is placed in a fermentation vessel as whole bunches. The vessel is sealed airtight and allowed to ferment for 10 days untouched.

This carbonic maceration technique allows for fermentation inside the berry and creates the distinctive perfume.

The fruit is then gently pressed to tank. There is no oak influence. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. As close as you can get to lying under a vine and squeezing the grape juice into your mouth.
