Pressing Matters Pinot Noir 2020 (Top 5 Pinot)
This Pinot Noir is unique in that the vineyard has over 18 different clone and rootstock combinations.
Each combination has subtle but noticeable differences both in growth and flavours. Some will have larger bunches, some smaller, some grow upright, some like to flop. Some rootstocks are more tolerant of drought, others are not.
Each combination has a different way of expressing the terroir of the vineyard; therefore each is picked by hand, and processed separately from the others.
The wine is then stored in 100% French oak for 9-10 months before being bottled. This gives them 18 different wines that they taste individually and blend into the final wine.

Nose:
Often with a deep colour, this Pinot exhibits a good balance of red and black fruits with cherries and plums.
Palate:
They release it having already aged 3 or 4 years, so it is an older pinot than most, and as such has developed lengthy lines of acid and tannins and gives the wine a lovely long finish.
