About
te Pā Pinot Noir
The grapes for this wine were handharvested from the Omaka North vineyard and fermented in batches in 4T open top fermenters. Each batch had about 10-30% whole bunch, with the remainder being gently destemmed whole berries. The wine was left on skins for a further 7-15 days post-fermentation to build structure and harmonise the tannins. The wine was matured in French oak barrels for 10 months – 25% of which were new.
