WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2022 District 7 Pinot Noir is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. The fruit was destemmed and crushed, then fermented in open-top fermenters. During fermentation and maceration, which lasted 2-3 weeks, regular punch-downs of the cap were performed to ensure full extraction of color and flavors. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for approximately 10 months in a combination of new and seasoned oak, including French oak. The vineyards are sustainably farmed, with harvest decisions made block by block based on flavor and ripeness.
