Pinot Noir - Single Vineyard 2012

2012 Pinot Noir - Single Vineyard

Our Pinot Noir is grown on our best soils in a part of the vineyard that has not been touched by gold mining. For almost 100 years fruit was grown here, peaches pears and apples originally and then Apricots at a later stage. It has been said that if you can grow Apricots then you can also grow great Pinot Noir and this has certainly been the case at Domain Road.

The fruit was hand harvested between the 13th & 21st April 2012. After de stemming and a period of cold soak in Stainless tanks, the juice was inoculated with selected wine yeasts before fermentation. The wine has been aged for approximately 9 months in French oak barriques, of which 30% were new.

Our 2012 Pinot Noir is a vibrant deep purple, with red fruits, violets, spice and char on the nose. The palate displays sweet cherry and plums with hints of spice. A full bodied wine with mouth filling fine grained tannins, showing concentration and a long lingering finish.
