Winemaker Notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Port was made using the Gamay Beaujolais upright clone of Pinot Noir. After hand-harvesting, the grapes underwent a five-day cold soak to enhance aromatics and color. Fermentation was halted at 8% residual sugar with the addition of neutral grape brandy, preserving the natural sweetness and vibrant fruit character. The wine was then aged in neutral French oak barrels for 18 months, developing its complex flavors and smooth finish.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair this Pinot Noir Port with rich chocolate desserts, blue cheese, or a cozy evening by the fire.
