Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Windandsea Pinot Noir 2016
This is a bare-bones glimpse at Windansea, the power dimension to Pinot Noir on our farm. In the stoniest and most clay rich of our granite soils, the bunches were selectively picked by the family for this small cuvée. Made without sulphur in the winemaking, it allows diverse and dynamic micro-organisms from the grape itself to flourish unrestrained in the fermentation. 11 months maturation, with a further six months élevage in larger oak. Unfiltered, it will improve over many years in bottle.
