Pinot Noirs are typically destemmed but not crushed, fermented in open-top fermenters, and manually punched down. After pressing, they are quickly barreled and rest on their lees for 20-23 months before bottling. This 'reductive' winemaking style requires extended barrel aging for full development. Although having multiple vintages aging simultaneously can cause cooperage congestion, the result is worth it. None of the reds are filtered to preserve essential colloidal material, crucial for optimal long-term development. This commitment ensures the wine reaches its highest potential, even if it isn't explicitly stated on the bottle.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Scherrer Pinot Noir is an elegant expression of the noble variety, offering aromas of dark cherry and blackberry intertwined with forest floor, tobacco, and toast. On the palate, a generous mid-palate offers flavors of ripe plum and currant, while the finish is long and smooth with hints of cocoa and earth.
