Tread Softly
TREAD SOFTLY PINOT NOIR
Description
Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help to control ripening and vigour. Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months in tank on solids prior to bottling and an early release.
No denying the variety on the nose as it exudes classic Pinot character. It displays black cherry, strawberry, and brown spice characters that are medium to light in feel but energetic and long in flavour. Soft integrated tannins provide structure whilst bright acidity drives the fresh finish. Perfect brunch drinking with mushroom and parmesan arancini.
