Urlar Gladstone Pinot Noir 2022

Commercial Description

Grapes were harvested in clonal parcels as they matured to optimum ripeness. As clonal parcels were received at the winery, decisions were made through taste as to the amount of whole bunch used in the fermentation. (The final blend being 10%). The grapes were fermented with indigenous yeast to showcase site expression. Ferments were plunged or pumped over daily. Time on skins was decided through closely monitoring flavour evolution daily. Once pressed wine was barreled down to French oak (20% new) and allowed to go through natural malolactic fermentation. Wine was aged on lees for 8 months before being racked into tank for blending and bottling.
