Winemaking

Our approach to White Pinot is simple.  We pick Pinot Noir at the same ripeness as our Estate Pinot Noir, but instead of placing it in a fermenter, we simply place it in the press for a gentle two-hour press cycle.  This leads to a gentle extraction of the Pinot Noir skins resulting in pale pink juice fermented indigenously in neutral French oak puncheons. The result is a Pinot noir made as a white, hence White Pinot!
