Ryder Estate Pinot Noir

At the winery, the fruit is carefully sorted then destemmed, crushed and fermented at warm temperatures in stainless steel fermenters. Gentle punch downs are performed several times a day.Once dry, the must is pressed into stainless steel tanks for settling, then racked prior to aging on both new and neutral French oak. The time on oak imparts nuanced notes of vanilla and toast.A simple Pinot Noir with notes of over-ripe black cherry and black plum alongside smokey-toasty wood, vanilla, clove and nutmeg.
