2007 Winderlea Estate Pinot noir
Quantity
The 2007 Estate Pinot noir (formerly Goldschmidt) was picked on September 29th and October 15th. The core of the wine is two new blocks of Pommard planted in 2005 which we allowed to ferment in our new 2.5 ton Taransaud wood fermenters. The remaining fruit was fermented in 1.5 ton macro bins and 2.5 ton stainless steel fermenters. In addition to being fermented in a wooden tank, the Estate was barrel aged in French oak barrels for 9 months prior to being bottled in August. The Estate shows a deeper garnet color, concentrated red and black fruit, full mouth feel and a pretty finish. The Estate will benefit from 1 2 years bottle aging and we believe has a minimum of 8-10 years aging potential. 560 cases produced.
Price: $50/bottle
