The Seven Springs Pinot Noir caresses the nose with a fruity and inviting bouquet of dark berries, black currants and ripe plums, as well as aromas of strawberry, red currants and hints of fine dry herbs. Complex, lush and balanced on the palate, delicious flavors of black currants, dark mulberries, plums, olives and hints of earthy forest floor tantalize the senses here. Soft, round yet taut tannins lend great length and structure to the palate. Decanting benefits the wine immensely!

The Pinot Noir grapes were hand-picked over several days at optimal ripeness and sorted by hand. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were first sorted and selected one more time and then completely destemmed, crushed and a touch of sulfur was added. This was followed by a swelling phase at a regulated 10°C for several days before the yeast naturally present in the environment and on the fruit started the alcoholic fermentation. Only later were selected commercial yeasts added to the mash. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine was left on the skins for several weeks to obtain soft tannins and a beautiful color in the wine. The wine was then transferred to previously occupied French oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation took its course and where the wine spent its nine months of aging.
