Anthem Pinot Noir “Discover” 2007 - Bronze medal Royal Easter Show 2009

“Intense berry fruit, black plum and wild strawberry on the nose with spice, high country herbs and blackcurrant also abundant. Enticing and approachable with a concentrated palate and a lingering silky texture.”.

The ripe fruit was handpicked and vented in small batches using traditional methods. During fermentation, gentle plunging up to 3 times per day ensured the desired extraction of colour, structure and aroma compounds. Ferments peaked at above 30C. Following ferment dryness there was a period of up to 10 days post ferment maceration and the wine was then drained to French oak barriques (30% new) for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation concluded in the summer and the wine was blended receiving one gentle filtration before bottling in March 2008. .
