Mc Crone Vineyard - 2014 - Helen Masters

100% Pinot Noir, from vines planted in 2001 on gravel and clay soils and farmed organically. The grapes were harvested by hand in March 2014, with controlled yields. Vinification is natural and without additives: 40% whole grape bunches, four days of pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with twenty days of maceration in total before a gentle pressing. Eleven months of maturation in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
