Wildekrans Barrel Select Reserve Pinot Noir 2018

An elegant, medium-bodied wine with balanced fresh acidity. Sumptuous notes of blueberry, pomegranate, cloves, mint and spicy cherry.

about the harvest: Harvested early morning at 25 balling, with 30% of the grapes immediately kept to one side to ferment separately.
in the cellar : Tank grapes are cold soaked for 3-5 days, with a number of pump-overs to remove seeds from the tank in batches. When taken to barrel, both juice components are combined to soften the wine before ageing. A variety of third and fourth fill barrels were used to enhance certain flavours and complexity.
