WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Butcher Pinot Noir 2022 is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation in traditional wooden fermentation racks or large wooden barrels. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a 12-month aging period, primarily in large wooden barrels, with some indications of aging in used oak barrels. This approach aims to preserve the varietal character and allow for subtle oak integration.
