Description
Creation Reserve Pinot Noir 2019
The Reserve is a vineyard selection. The grapes undergo traditional skin fermentation and post-fermentation maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation in the barrels. Two – three rackings were done during the maturation period and light filtration preceded bottling.
While establishing his career in Switzerland, JC honed his skills on Pinot Noir and is therefore familiar with the challenges faced when cultivating what can be a fickle grape. Before planting his Pinot at Creation he meticulously considered aspect, soil and row direction and selected only virus-free clones (Dijon 115 and 777) for their suitability to the terroir. His Pinot vineyards are planted on south-easterly, easterly and north-easterly slopes with each site expressing itself in its own stylistic way
