WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gardo & Morris Pinot Noir is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes from Marlborough, New Zealand. The winemaking process includes harvesting grapes at night to maintain freshness and acidity. A key technique is the use of indigenous yeasts for fermentation, eschewing added yeast cultures. Organic farming practices are integral to the vineyard management.
