Pinot Noir Coolart Road, Ten Minutes by Tractor 2022

Rich, full-bodied, dense and plummy pinot noir, more earthbound aromas. Deep, dense and tannic. A robust style of pinot noir—the Pommard of the group! (10% whole-bunches).

Cold soaked for five days before spontaneous fermentation for 14 days on skins (including a small percentage of whole bunch) in a combination of concrete and stainless-steel fermenters with gentle cap management and press. Eight months in a combination of new (26%, 600-litre) and old oak barrels in small and large format.

Spicy plumcot, ripe damson, violet. The fruit comes forward, showing much more concentration, more graphite, a little fiercer, more confident. More calligraphy. More mouth-watering, more shimmering concentration. A show of restrained magnificence.
