12 Wines of Christmas WINE #11

 
Advent wine #11 is our Renaissance Pinot Noir 2022, another pre-release exclusive to this advent. The Pinot Noir planted to our Shuttleworth Creek property is gradually becoming some of the most intriguing and beautiful fruit we’re producing. Of the 7 Dijon clones we have planted to this vineyard, it is the Pommard clone that continues to captivate me, and whose haunting aromatics are showcased in this blend. Almost 2/3 of this iteration, though, comes from the concentrated 667 and 115 clones from our 25+ year old estate vines, used to give this wine its signature weight and structure. We’ve created an impressively elegant Pinot Noir that is excitingly indicative of the quality of fruit coming out of both vineyards. A classic pairing with roast chicken, rack of lamb, beef wellington, roast pork with fennel, mushroom dishes (mushroom risotto), venison or grilled lobster.
