Adelaide Hills Artisan Ridley Pinot X Three

48% Pinot Meunier, 48% Pinot Noir, 4% Pinot Gris. A blend made in heaven. Pinot Noir, Meunier & Gris; this wine gives bright red fruits, delicate up front fruit profile with exotic spices, vibrant acid and fine whole bunch tannin. A blend of Pinot Meunier 48%, Pinot Noir 48% and 4% Pinot Gris from vineyards in the Piccadilly Valley & Oakbank. All parcels are fermented in small batches using various proportions of whole bunches and a spontaneous wild ferment with a gentle maceration to produce a lighter delicate style of wine. The Pinot Meunier gives bright red fruits with a generous up front fruit profile, while the Pinot Noir provides tension and length with exotic spices and red fruits. The Pinot Gris, fermented on skins for 10-14 days that results in a pale red / orange colour helps to give a vibrant lift and roundness to the blend. Each parcel is matured in natural French barriques and Puncheons for 5-6 months before bottling with no fining or filtration. ABV 13%
