Drinking Window: 2022 - 2027
One of Daniel Pi’s more ambitious projects, this Pinot is made with grapes from a vineyard in Los Arboles, Uco Valley at 1,400m above sea level, where the soils are rocky and climate cool. Aged for six months in foudres, this is a refined, austere wine initially before the oxygen gets to work, bringing out aromas of fresh cherry, blackberry, violet, liquorice, clove and mushroom. In the mouth it’s balanced and fresh with granulated tannins and a lasting finish.
