Summerhill Pyramid Winery Summerhill Vineyard Pinot Noir Demeter Certified Biodynamic 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe first certified biodynamic pinot noir in the province was fermented in 10,000 litre foudres pressed off into a stainless steel tank. It was bottled as young as possible in early March, and it is delicious. The vibrancy and freshness of the wine serve it well. The attack is juicy, and the bright, sour cherry enamours before the earthy, forest floor notes keep it all in balance. It is quite startling in texture and weight. It tastes "natural." There is no yeast added, no intervention, and well, not much but pinot noir fruit from the home vineyard. An impressive start. Kudos to the team.Tasted: 30 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
