Dexter Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2024 (750ml)

Winemaker's Note 

Each clone on our single vineyard site was picked separately when they individually reach optimal ripeness. Hand-picked fruit was destemmed without crushing and elevated into small open fermenters. The whole berry must was left to cold soak for 2-3 days before beginning fermentation. Fermentation temperatures peaked at around 32°C and during fermentation the cap was plunged up to 2 times per day. After fermentation was complete, the must was gently pressed and transferred into French Oak puncheons (21% new, 14% second use, 21% third use and 43% older) where MLF occurred before winter. The wine was left to mature in oak on lees before being bottled late December 2023.
