2022 Julien Schaal Mountain Vineyards Pinot Noir

The Julien Schaal Mountain Vineyards Pinot Noir 2021 is an elegant 'French' pinot noir with some wood aging. The grapes were hand-harvested at optimum ripeness and sorted in the cellar to ensure only the best fruit was used for fermentation. Part was fermented as whole berries. The wine is naturally fermented and matured in barrel (300L) for 12 months. The Mountain Vineyards Pinot Noir has a beautiful typical bright ruby red color in the glass. The nose has delicate earthy aromas combined with red and dark berry aromas. In the mouth these characteristics follow with interesting savoury notes and just a hint of oak in the finish.
