2020 Mon Petit Cheval Pinot Noir
In a departure from the style of our highly regarded normally fermented Pinot Noirs, the Mon Petit is produced using the traditional technique of Carbonic Maceration, sometimes referred to as whole grape fermentation, to produce a lower acid and tannin wine that is accessible at a young age.
This 2020 wine is cherry coloured with aromatics of strawberry, cherry and cigar box. The palate shows additional raspberry and plenty of spice and pepperyness resulting from the whole bunches. With light velvety tannins, the wine finishes soft and succulent.
Can be served at room temperature, or lightly chilled.
Unfined and unfiltered.
Alcohol Volume: 13%
Region: Waipara Valley – North Canterbury
