Abbott Claim Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Grapes are harvested by hand at sunrise and immediately brought to the winery, where we weigh, sort and partially destem them. Fermentation is carried by native yeasts in oak, concrete and stainless steel vats. Each day we taste the fermenting wine and either pump it over, punch it down, or do nothing. Free run, press wine and lees are all placed into barrels together, where malolactic fermentation spontaneously starts, often in the following Spring.
