Settlement Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Awards/Reviews
Grapes were hand-picked, chilled overnight, and sorted by hand. A mix of destemmed berries (70%) and whole bunches (30%) were fermented with wild yeasts. The wine completed fermentation and aged for 18 months in French oak (30% new), and was then bottled without fining.
