Product information "Whalehaven Conservation Coast Pinot Noir 2014"
The Whalehaven Conservation Coast Pinot Noir is an excellent "cool climate" wine. A rustic garnet red with violet reflections in the glass, this red wine exudes wonderful floral and fruity nuances of ripe cherries and plums with subtle spicy hints of cinnamon and cloves. Aromas that are also reflected on the palate and are combined with earthy tones that perfectly complete this well-balanced wine. Full-bodied and silky smooth, this Pinot Noir promises an incredibly elegant pleasure experience.

The grapes for this elegant Pinot Noir were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning and stored overnight at a regulated 4°C in a cold storage room. The next morning, the grapes were sorted by bunch before being completely destemmed and checked for quality berry by berry. Then the cooling system of the fermentation tanks was switched off to bring the berries naturally to room temperature before adding selected yeasts, which started the fermentation process that lasted for 14 days. Once fermentation was complete, the grapes were pressed and the wine was left to rest for two days, after which malolactic fermentation took place in the cask. Once the malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine was matured for 9-10 months in French barriques and then bottled lightly filtered.
