Evenfall Pinot Noir Magnum

Description

Pure Pinot Noir from the Derwent and Tamar Valleys was hand picked and partially destemmed to open top stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Lightly hand-plunged as required during ferment, followed by gentle pressing off skins to tank for malolactic fermentation, with careful maturation in oak for 10 months (20% new French oak). We demand so much from Pinot, wanting it to be elegant as well as firmly structured. This wine seems already intent on performing both to both. Bright strawberry and rose-hip tones, through to sugar-dusted Turkish delight richness and a supporting backdrop of complex, filigreed tannin. Don’t let its bright, translucent colour fool you, this is serious wine and a perfect match for richness, whether it be creamed-based sauces, aromatic grilled meats, or earthy, forest-floor autumnal favours of chestnuts, mushrooms and root vegetables.
