Tasting Note
Medium-bodied Pinot Noir: red and black cherry, violet and underbrush notes with subtle spice, firm yet refined tannins and a mineral, slightly earthy finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, duck breast, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, aged Gruyère. Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese BBQ pork), grilled shiitake and soy-glazed dishes, bulgogi or teriyaki chicken.

Production Method
Hand-harvested old-vine fruit; partial destemming, cold pre-fermentation maceration, native-yeast fermentation and élevage in French oak (moderate new oak) 12–18 months.

Vineyard Info
