Mcwilliams Wines Mcw 660 Reserve Tumbarumba Pinot Noir 750ml

Vinification and maturation: individual parcels of Pinot Noir were handpicked based on flavour and tannin ripeness. These parcels were delivered to the Hanwood Estate winery where they were gently crushed to open fermenters. Each batch was fermented separately with a portion of whole bunches from 20-40%. After cold soaking
fermentation was warm with a total time of skins of 12 days then pressed off. Following primary fermentation the parcels were gently pressed then racked to barrel of which 20% were new French oak barriques and hogsheads. The wine went through natural malolactic fermentation in barrel and held on its lees for a period of 8 months undisturbed prior to final blending. Post blending the wine was lightly fined with egg whites prior to a light filtration pre bottling. Aroma: black plum and spice with delicate floral notes. Palate: light to medium bodied with sappy red cherry fruits. Earthy spices and complex mushroom notes that lead to a velvety long finish.
