Pinot Noir is terroir driven and Villiera carefully sources the grapes in the Overberg region. It is an artisanal wine made in small quantities.
about the harvest: The Pinot Noir was hand harvested early in the morning to ensure quality. 70% of the grapes were then destalked using an old hand de-stalker, set to keep berries whole and the remaining 30% was kept whole bunch.
in the cellar : The winemaking philosophy involves minimal intervention throughout the whole process. This wine went through spontaneous fermentation and MLF. It was fermented in open “punchions” (400L barrels) with 30% whole bunch split between the top and bottom for different flavour profiles. The stalks add to the structure and tannin grip. The wine spent 10 days post fermentation on the skins for better tannin integration. 20% of the wine went into new French oak with the rest into used French oak barrels. The wine was in barrel for 10 months before bottling. At bottling the wine went through a rough filter.
