2022 gathering field pinot noir nouveau
100% Pinot Noir
A light bodied, highly perfumed Pinot Noir with lifted cherry and strawberry aromas.
As soon as the fruit for this wine is picked it is placed in a fermentation vessel as whole bunches. The vessel is sealed airtight and allowed to ferment for 10 days untouched.
This carbonic maceration technique allows for fermentation inside the berry and creates the distinctive perfume.
The fruit is then gently pressed to tank. There is no oak influence. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. As close as you can get to lying under a vine and squeezing the grape juice into your mouth.
Note: Minimum of 6 bottles per order (Can be a mixed 6 pack).

Thousand Candles Gathering Field Nouveau Pinot Noir 2021
Posted on 16 June 2022.
100% pinot noir, whole bunch pressed, carbonic maceration techniques employed prior to being pressed to tank. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
“Beautiful wine to drink. Fresh and frisky as you’d expect, with fruit to the fore, but with ample character and interest, not to mention structure. Buy buy buy. Strawberry, cherry, twig and spice notes with a gently reductive complexing edge. It’s light in a good way, and it feels both forward and tight at once; not sure how it does that but it works”.
