Moko Hills Kakano Pinot Noir 2023

The fruit for our Kakano Pinot Noir came from a single Pinot Noir clone - Abel. 100% whole-bunch fermented with natural yeast. Gentle winemaking techniques were used to avoid excessive extraction. 18 days on skin, pressed to 100% old French oak barrels. 12 months in barrel, and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally in spring, before being racked and settling naturally  and integrating in tank. 

Savoury, textured, layered with dark plums, boysenberry and baked raspberry, dried herbs, and dark violets. 

Unfined and unfiltered.
