This terroir contributes to well-constructed, hearty Pinot Noir wines.

This prime exposure ensures optimal sunlight, promoting full ripening of the Pinot Noir grapes. The combination of mature vines and favorable microclimate contributes to the wine’s richness and complexity. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAfter sorting in the vineyard and winery, the grapes are de-stemmed and undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 days. Spontaneous fermentation follows, with the grapes remaining in tank for approximately 3 weeks during alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then transferred by gravity into oak barrels (35% new oak) for 14 months of aging. No fining is performed, and only the best barrels from these old vines are selected for this cuvée. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSpecific ABV information for the 2022 vintage is not readily available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 “Numerus Clausus” exhibits a deep and dark fruit profile, with notes of cassis and mulberry, complemented by hints of leather, bay leaf, wood smoke, and spice from the oak.
