2023 Noisy Ritual Geelong Pinot Noir

We've been making this Pinot Noir for many years now, and it's always been a popular wine, with a great balance of fruit and earth characteristics and a sublime texture that is often sought by lovers of Pinot. The fruit was picked with plenty of flavour development, relatively low sugar and high acid content. The resulting wine is light on its feet, with lifted red berry aromas and a bright palate punctuated by subtle earthiness and supple tannins. In true Pinot style, this wine has the subtlety to make a casual glass enjoyable and the complexity to allow you to ponder a bottle over a drawn-out evening. Hand picked and 90% destemmed (with 10% whole bunch left in the ferment). Fermented in small open fermenters with wild yeast before pressing and maturation in oak on fine lees. The french oak is 15% new, the rest being 2-5 year old barrels.
