2024 Mewstone Pinot Noir 750ml

Grapes from the Mewstone vineyard were hand picked between the 29th of March and the 14th of April between 12.5 and 13.1 baume. Naturally fermented with 15 percent whole bunch (this varied across the ferments, from zero to 40%). The ferments received minimal pumpovers before being pressed after 21 days. The wine was matured in french oak (40% new) for ten months. 3528 bottles produced without fining or filtration "Beautiful composure to this wine. It feels cool but it also feels ripe, its forest berry flavours laced with sweet herbs, its tannin firm but velvety. It has this "I've got this" sense to it. It’s aromatic and refreshing, light-ish, squeaky clean to smell and taste but a bit murky to look at, the latter of which is a good way for a wine to be. Sweet beetroot, red cherry, undergrowth and twig notes blossom as the wine breathes. It is, in short, very good" – 94 Points - Campbell Mattinson - Winefront
