Dalrymple Pinot Noir Estate 2022

T E R R O I R / P R O V E N A N C E / R E G I O N
Small batches of Pinot Noir were selected from sites
in our own vineyards at Pipers River and Coal River
Valley, along with our grower at Ouse. Each site
and block has different clones and terroir, adding
their own strengths and complexity to the final
blend. The cooler northern maritime location at
Pipers River produces Pinot Noir that is focused and
structured, while the Coal River Valley in the south
adds texture and softness to the mid-palate.

Each of the parcels were picked based on their merit. Fermentation
started after two to three days and continued for four to five days,
with five to twenty percent whole bunches, depending on site. The
cap was plunged up to three times a day to extract colour and tannin
from the skins. The wine was then pressed and settled before being
placed into French oak barriques (20% new) for 9 months, where
malolactic fermentation took place prior to filtration and bottling.
