Three Choirs Vineyards Pinot Noir Precoce 2017

A real customer favourite, a relatively full-bodied Pinot Noir with oodles of fruit and a beautiful texture. This part of the country seems to deliver elderberry flavours in a way we just haven’t seen elsewhere, with blueberry and plum softening and rounding out the flavour profile. The Three Choirs Vineyard is south facing on sandy loam soil with a GDC trellis system with 800 vines per acre or 2000 per hectare. Most vines are 10-20 years old, all grapes are hand-picked. The 2017 harvest produced an average sized crop with good ripeness levels and most importantly a good level of crisp acidity. The wine required minimum intervention in the winery and produced a wine of typical varietal character.
