“Grace’s Secret” refers to the youngest of the family, Grace. After Pinot Noir 2021 being the new generation, the 2022 is again something amazing.
Translucent mid cherry-red coloured, lighter at the rim, medium bodied. The nose exhibits aromas of forest floor, cherry and plum, a hint of spice and subtle herb/earthy notes. Ripe dark plum, cherries and red berry fill the palate, a refreshing acidity, silky tannins and a hint of oak spice all nicely integrated, layered and still youthful. A long and tasty dry finish.
The grapes were hand harvested on a cool morning and settled on a cold temperature for 24 hours before the process started; 40% whole bunch press and 60% destemmed, wild fermentation, maturation in barrel for 10 months and gentle filtration.
