Mondillo Pinot Noir 2020

Produced with a combination of Pommard and Dijon clones, each of which were fermented individually. The fruit was 100% de-stemmed followed by a long cold maceration, fermented slowly, gently pressed and put to barrel. This wine has been filtered and is unfined. It has been aged in French oak barriques, of which 30% were new for 11 months. The finished wine is blended from a selection of barrels and bottles on the 31 March 2021.
