Ad Hoc Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir (2016)
750mL / Great Southern, WA / Australia
From Porongurup to Frankland River conditions were excellent throughout the season.
The Winter and Spring lead-up were dry but that eased with good rainfalls during January which brought much needed moisture for vine growth and yields.
As a result the wines have great verve and freshness.
The Winemaking:
Sourced from several locations in the Great Southern, the fruit was fermented using a combination of wild fermentation, selected yeasts and 1-3 year old French oak for 6 months prior to bottling.
