Tasting Notes for Wild Folk Preservative Free Pinot Noir 2022 from the Winery 

Summary: Wild Folk - the natural choice in wine - are a pure expression of the variety and the vineyard. Minimal intervention in the winery ensures a joyful glass of just what mother nature intended. Wild yeast fermented, no additions, vegan friendly, preservative free, unfined and unfiltered, nothing but fermented grapes at their finest.

Winemaking: A less is more regime in the vineyard and the winery has resulted in a fresher more uncompromising wine stylistically. Handpicked and sorted and then added to open fermenters before undergoing plunging. Consigned to stainless steel after fermentation this wine was bottled shortly after with little additions and was neither fined nor filtered.

Vintage 2022: After a wet and windy spring (and the resulting poor fruit set), winemakers approached the 2022 vintage with trepidation. However, the weather turned clear and warm after Christmas with perfect harvesting conditions. Cool nights allow the fruit to retain bright natural acidity, and fruit flavours are pure and bold. 

Tasting Note: A fresh drink now natural Pinot Noir that is all about the purity of fruit. Elegant and  seductively smooth on the nose and palate with varietal cherry and savoury notes followed by gentle acidity on the finish. Perfect drink now style that would pair well with a truffled risotto.
