Only the very best grapes from vineyards in the well renowned Bannockburn area are selected to produce this ?Earth and Sky? Pinot Noir. This wine is a blend of three Bannockburn vineyards ranging from 10 to 19 years old. One of the sites is planted on the sandier soils of Cairnmuir Road and the other two border the Bannockburn Sluicings, a distinctive geographic landmark that is steeped in mining history. The grapes from these vineyards were fermented separately with a range of 0-50% whole clusters with the resulting blend having around 15% whole clusters which aids the tannin structure and aromatics of the wine. The total time on skins ranging from 21-25 days. The wine was aged in fine grain French oak: 22% new and the rest in 2-5 years old barriques for approximately 12 months. The wine was bottled unfined, unfiltered.
