Red Claw Pinot Noir 2015
5.3

With intense complex aromas and great depth of character, Red Claw's no nonsense approach to viticulture and winemaking is clearly visible in this vintage. A fine long juicy palate with a persistent polished finish. Bursting with cherry and dark fruits. Pinot lovers will enter a love affair with this wine.
Characteristic perfumed, fragrant aromas highlighted by cherry and dark berry fruits complemented by a touch of spice and underlying French oak.
10 months in French oak.
The long, silky palate has a lovely elegance and velvety texture, with concentrated red fruit flavours and a finely poised finish.
Handpicked, with each parcel handled separately in the winery (a total of 20 individual batches). Hand sorted and carefully destemmed, each parcel went into traditional open fermenters. The wine underwent three days of cold soaking to ensure even and thorough extraction. Batches were on skins for 7-10 days, after which they were transferred into French oak (500L puncheons) for 10 months and prepared for bottling in November 2015.
