As always the Holyman Pinot comes from a block of old vines called Jack. Its 75% hand selected whole bunch due to the season, and we use 30% new French oak Barriques.
The fruit is hand picked and our well trained pickers do all our fruit sorting in the vineyard. After 7 days of cold soak the wine is naturally fermented and no additions are made except for Sulphur as a preservative. Light in colour, but full of flavour. Typical forest floor and hints cranberry and red cherry. The palate has all the hallmark red-fruits, hints of mushroom and a complexing smoky oak edge. The beautiful, chalky tannin from the whole bunch component perfectly complement the fresh fruits. It was bottled without being fined or filtered.
