Ceritas Cuvee TROUT GULCH 2023

We source two blocks of dry-farmed Pinot Noir from the O’Connell Vineyard, both of which are planted on shallow sandstone soils in a cold, foggy part of the Green Valley. Meter-by-meter planting ensures that clusters are tiny, and the resulting ratio of skins to juice enables a deep intensity of flavour. Careful work in the cellar is used to ensure the wine is bright, lifted, and explosively aromatic.

2023 Tasting Note:
Neon magenta in the glass. Chloe’s wine offers powerful scents of crystalline red fruit that jump at you, framed by a distinct sense of minerality and a touch of fresh pine needles. The palate follows this thread, with vibrant, juicy acidity and tannins primed for earlier drinking. There is an intense saturation of flavour here, opening up with some time in the glass. Delicious.
