2022 Braided Hill Pinot Noir

Source

The grapes for this wine are sourced exclusively from Braided Hill Vineyard, located in the East Kelowna Slopes sub-GI of the Okanagan Valley.

Winemaking

The grapes are Dijon clones 777 and 115. They are handpicked and fermented separately by ambient yeast. After 21 days on skins, the wine goes to French Oak barrels, 25% new, for 13 months of aging. 

Tasting Notes

The wine is fruit-forward and structured with sweet spice, red liquorice, black raspberry, and cherry aromas on the nose. The palate is met with intense dark plum, cherry, clove, and subtle mushroom undertones.

Pair with Manchego cheese, chocolate-covered almonds, and mushroom risotto.
