WINE DESCRIPTION
Under the skilled guidance of Winemaker Keith Hammond, each Emeritus Vineyards Pinot Noir is crafted with a commitment to elegance and authenticity. These place-driven wines honor both the vintage and the unique vineyards they hail from, with every step thoughtfully chosen for gentle, sustainable winemaking. Grapes are harvested at night, hand-sorted, and gently destemmed before cool soaking to enhance color, aroma, and flavor. Using native yeasts and gentle punch-downs, fermentation is meticulously managed to extract soft tannins and character. Post-fermentation, wines age in carefully selected French oak barrels from trusted family cooperages, preserving their complexity and integrity without fining or filtration.
