Drink because…
You are looking for a great Pinot Noir and you are not afraid to try something or somewhere new.
Grapes
100% Pinot Noir
Storage
12 months of ageing in Hungarian oak barrels
2 years of ageing in stainless steel tanks.
Viticulture
The special microclimate created in the Mura valley and the clay-based soil allows figs and kaki to grow, but also ensures the making of an elegant and ripe Pinot Noir.
Winemaking
The grapes are spontaneously fermented in open tanks, with 10-14 days of skin contact. Afterwards they are moved to oak barrels to age for 12 months, and lastly an additional 2 years of ageing in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Note
The wine has cherry and blueberry notes, rounded with a hint of rosemary and thyme spices. The ageing of the wine adds notes of forest floor and leather. Great acidity and smooth tannis characterises the palate.
