Great Heart Ceres Pinot Noir 2023 (Case of 6)

Our Ceres Pinot Noir is ruby red in colour with a perfumed nose of fresh raspberry and blood plum. It shows crunchy black cherries and attractive layers of earthiness and spice on entry, finishing with well-balanced acidity and a beautiful fresh core. It would be best served at 12 to 14˚C and pair exceptionally well with sautéed duck or a classic meatball marinara pasta. This wine is vegan friendly.

Winemaking:
This Pinot Noir was crushed to tank whole-bunch and cold soaked for three days before the onset of indigenous fermentation. Temperatures during fermentation were kept below 28˚C and no sulphur or other additives were added. After two weeks the wine was pressed to older French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation.

Maturation:
During the winter season of 2023, the wine matured for six months in 500L French Oak barrels which ensured excellent development of the fine tannins that are naturally present in this delicate grape variety.
