The Pot de Fleur is so named for the small flowerpot shaped fermenters we use. Building on this we work with self-taught NZ artist Margarita Vovna who designed this unique label - the textured background is a reproduction of the paper which Margarita creates from up-cycling Guadalupe County ranchers flannel. 

Hand-picked from our clone 115 ‘Young’ block Pinot Noir, it is fermented in 4 flower pot shaped fermenters as whole-clusters. The first 7 days develop under a thick CO2 cloud, promoting some carbonic maceration, followed by a gentle hand plunge once per day to dryness. Pressed off after 22 days on skins, it is settled in tank then transferred to barrel using gravity. It spends 10 months maturing in old oak barrels, then it’s racked to tank and bottled by hand, under natural cork. No fining, filtration or additions.

Soft, fruit-forward, round and plush, with red cherry and black doris fruit notes, alongside a green spice tone. It’s gentle with great balance and finishes dry with a bitter plum pip note
