Fine boned and soft, with lovely texture and weight. Notes of red cherry, raspberry and burnt sage. Good balance and length. The Pot de Fleur is a different take on Pinot Noir, first made in 2018 using the 100% whole-clusters during ferment and named for the small flowerpot shaped fermenters we use. The front label features artwork by self-taught NZ artist Margarita Vovna-the textured background is a reproduction of the paper which Margarita creates from up-cycling Guadalupe County ranchers flannel.

Hand-picked from a single block of clone 115 Pinot Noir, fermented with wild yeast, the first 6 days the ferments are wrapped up under a cloud of CO2 to encourage carbonic maceration. Following which each pot is hand-plunged once daily until dryness. Matured in neutral oak barriques for 9 months, before blending and bottling onsite by hand under cork, without any adjustments, fining, or filtration. No Sulphur is added at any point during the creation.
