THE WREKIN Pinot Noir 2022 Sorrell Wines

The fruit was hand-picked at 3 different dates to ensure optimum ripeness across the different Pinot Noir clones (667, 777, 115,114, Abel). The grapes were destemmed and gravity fed into open-top fermenters. The juice was inoculated with yeast from ‘The Wrekin’ vineyard. During fermentation a mix of gentle hand plunging, and pump overs occurred. After 18 days on skins the wine was gently pressed and transferred to French oak, where it aged for 14 months. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation in early spring before blending and bottling.
