Freycinet Louis Pinot Noir 2008

|
The 2008 Freycinet Louis Pinot Noir showcases beautiful Pinot Noir aromas and flavours - with vibrant spicy black cherry overtones. The wine was matured in French oak barrels for 12 months.
Fully ripened fruit from our Louis vineyard site is fermented over a 7 to 8 day period in a rotary fermenter. A pure yeast culture is added and the ferment temperature is allowed to peak at 32 degrees. After gently extracting colour, flavour and tannins from the skins the wine is pressed and matured in French oak barriques (8 % new) for 12 months prior to bottling.
The aroma reveals spicy red berry fruits with subtle oak and forest perfume. The generous round palate is awash with sweet cherry and plum flavours overlaying savoury silky fine tannins and a smooth textural long finish. The restrained use of oak accentuates the fruit and drinkability of this wine in its youth. Careful cellaring at cool, constant temperature over any period up to 10 years will add extra mellowness and gamey complexity.
