Note: Each barrel of wine is unique and can display subtle differences arising from the cooper, forest, grain tightness, age, toasting and individual flavour profile. With meticulous care, our Proprietor selects and blends the finest barrels of Pinot Noir to bring you this exceptional wine.

Vineyard: Pinot Noir is a particularly delicate cultivar that requires constant care and grooming in the vineyard. As Pinot Noir is greatly influenced by variations in night-time temperatures, these vineyards are planted overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
