2000 Yering Farm Pinot Noir

Tasting Note:
Classically cool climate, the 2000 vintage has produced complexity balanced with soft French oak tannins. Rose and oak overtones are followed by cherry and spice characteristics.

Viticulture:
The 2000 vintage produced excellent quality Pinot Noir, ripened on Scott Henry trellising and aided by a long dry summer. Selected parcels of fruit were hand harvested over 10 days to capture a broader spectrum of flavour from the single Pinot clone.

Winemaking:
Regular plunging of the grape skin cap extracted a rich colour during fermentation in open tanks. Matured for 15 months in French oak barriques.
