D'Arenberg Feral Fox Pinot Noir

Silky, sweet and pure, with vibrant cherry and red berry flavours and a brisk, juicy finish. A beautiful red ruby colour. A basket of strawberries and fresh cherries straight away on the nose. Pomegranate, red fruits. Prominent strawberries still here on the palate. A much fresher, fruit driven rendition of this wine. A touch of truffle. Quite dusty and elegant tannins. Outstanding Pinot. Small batches of grapes are crushed gently and then transferred to two tonne headed down open fermenters. About 15% whole bunches are added and it undergoes approximately three days of cold soak prior to wild fermentation starting. Foot treading is undertaken on a regular basis throughout fermentation followed by gentle basket pressing. The wine is then transferred to older French oak barriques to complete primary and secondary fermentation. The wine is aged on lees for added complexity with no racking until final blending. The Feral Fox does not undertake fining or filtration prior to bottling.
