This Estate Pinot 2022 has a large proportion of fruit from some of our finest sites, with nearly half the grapes coming from the two best Blocks 1-2, planted with PN777 clone and another 17% from Block 3 with the same material and slightly deeper soil. Another 31% is sourced from two blocks of the very structural PN 943, at the top center and middle of the highest blocks.

Vintage: 2022

ABV: 13.4%

A cold and rainy spring led to a late frost that devastated the Chardonnay crop. However, the end of June brought a weeklong heat wave of 35-40°C that helped kickstart the period of bloom. July was calm and moderate with little rain. Thankfully, the frost had little effect on Pinot Noir, which has a later start, and less exposure. Bloom came the first week of July, and veraison began on Labour Day weekend, finishing a week later. Picking was expedited due to rain pressure, with Pinot harvest starting at the end of the first week of October and ending on October 20th.
