Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? The sun does absolutely shine out of the rich cardinal hue of this wine and can even the dullest of days, light up. Don’t think the colour is just a chance phenomenon though, it was sweated over for days during the vintage. To extract just the right amount of anthocyanin from the skins, some of the plump ripe Pinot Noir grapes were given 2 days on maceration before pressing, some were pumped over and others even worked by pigeage, the traditional foot stomping technique, usually the preserve of tourists visiting Old World wineries,.
