Catchpole & Co. Pinot Noir 2020

Description

The grapes were harvested from two different sites Stanford and Stellenbosch both consisting of Burgundian clones 115 and 777 The Stanford cooling ocean breeze allowed the Pinot Noir to ripen slowly and evenly which lead to great purity of fruit and rare acidity The grapes were co fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks for 8 months and then 2 months in 2nd 3rd and 4th fill Burgundian barrels The wine shows depth and texture presence and poise with supple tannins and attractive earthiness This is not a Pinot for those who think good red wine needs to be black oaky and tannic It is a fragrant bright and refreshing Pinot with wonderful succulence and expressive fruitiness
