This 2024 Whitlands pinot meunier coming from Clare Burder’s family vineyard. Elevation sitting at 800m above sea level plays a huge role in this crunchy, vibrant style of meunier. Vibrant, fresh plummy fruits lifted by a heady mix of florals, low tannin structure making this a perfect chilled red option over the warmer months.
100% de-stemmed fruit, 22-day wild yeast ferment in open top fermenters. Then maturation in neutral puncheons.
Tasting Note:
'It’s a wine of lightness and freshness but it also has elements of darkness. Blue fruit skin and meat, red fig flesh, tarragon and cool herbs, iron and salt. It’s filled with chalky, cushy tannins and a salty, almost bloody, tension, ozone lift, and a little peppery spice to the end. It does it oh-so-well.' 93 Points Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front
'Bright purple hue, heady spices – anise, lifted cassis, white pepper, juicy/fleshy core, silty tannins that weave through the wine, elegant and fine boned.' Justin & Lisa Jenkins
