WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Small Wonder Landscape Pinot Noir 2023 begins with chilled, hand-sorted clusters. A three-day cold soak is employed to enhance color and tannin suppleness. Fermentation takes place in open-top stainless steel fermenters, with daily pump-overs during peak fermentation and occasional punch-downs. The wine remains on skins for up to 15 days before pressing. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months, with approximately 10% new French oak used. The vineyard is managed using certified organic and regenerative viticulture practices. The winery itself is designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating green energy and rainwater harvesting.
