It's Pinot Noir Time

Our 100% Pinot Noir wine is made using standard Whisson Lake practices - no fiddling! Or to put it another way, more or less how winemaking was done in the better cellars in Burgundy before the advent of high-tech oenology.

That is to say: wild (ambient!) yeast, wild malo bugs, no pH adjustments, no added tannin, vitamins, colour or anything else, no fining or filtering, no refrigeration but with cold soaks pre- and post-fermentation, and warm ferments in open fermenters (we insulate the fermenters and heat them if necessary).

​

All of our wine is made in very minimal batches and bottles are limited.
