Pinot Noir
Stems play a vital role in our pinot noir where
we view their involvement as not something added
to the equation but simply something that has not
been removed. They are an integral part of each
cluster, much like the role played by a skeleton
to its attached flesh and help to provide architecture
to the finished wine. Whole cluster fermentation
also helps to complement the inherent spherical
tendencies of our appellation towards a more Cartesian
end point.
