2020 Triomphe Pinot Noir
What a lovely first impression of the 2020 growing season! Full of red fruit with a bit of spice. Juicy cranberries, red cherries, and plums appear on the nose. Flavours of mocha and red licorice lead to a round, elegant palate with subtle tannins and refreshing acidity.

Tasting Notes
Light in colour but not in flavour. Juicy cranberries, red cherries and plums appear on the nose. Flavours of mocha and red licorice lead to a round, elegant palate with subtle tannins and refreshing acidity.
Winemaker Notes
Whole clusters were manually sorted and 30% by weight went straight into an open top fermenter. The remaining 70% were destemmed, leaving many whole berries and allowed to ferment in an open top oak fermenter. After pressing the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for 10 months of aging before bottling.
