The Fat Bastard Pinot Noir was made from specially selected grapes from the ultra-ripe harvest. From the start, our aim was to produce a Pinot noir with intense fruit flavour and real character utilising quality grapes.
The Fat Bastard Pinot Noir was made from specially selected grapes from the ultra-ripe harvest.
The grape bunches were de-stemmed and placed in small open top fermenters where a 10 % saignée was done prior to fermentation. The tanks was mixed once daily via a short pump over and once fermentation was in full swing the tanks was punch down or pumped over through the skin cap three times a day to ensure optimal extraction of colour, aromatics and structure. After fermentation and pressing the wine was placed in 225 l French barrels for 11 months maturation, a combination of new, second fill and neutral barrels were used.
