Place Of Changing Winds High Density Pinot Noir 2021

Tasting Notes

This wine is based on our closest planted vines—20,000 and 33,000 vines per hectare—along with some surrounding vines to fill the fermenters. At such density, almost all of the work is done by hand and the yields are a paltry 100-200 grams per vine. Obviously the cost of production must be reflected in the price. We don’t say that this is a better wine, only that it is different. It was completely de-stemmed and aged in one Stockinger and one Dominique Laurent cask. 

It obviously has significant depth and texture but also phenomenal finesse and lingering perfume. It will be fascinating to watch it age and evolve. No fining or filtration. Nothing added bar minimal SO2. Bottled by gravity. - Rob Walters
