Domaine Jaegar | Pinot Noir | Rully | France Red Wine | 13% Becky Hewes Becky Says Organically farmed and with a minimum vine age of 35 years, letting nature take its course, Hélène Jaeger-Defaix manages this estate in the same spirit as their vineyards in Chablis. With severe debudding to control vine yield, hand harvested grapes, and the use of natural yeasts wine production here isn’t rushed. The pressing is also slow and gentle, to extract only the best juice. Post fermentation the wine is aged for a further 18 months in French oak barrels with batonnage or stirring the lees, to enhance the elegance of the wine, and this exudes elegance! Aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and blackberry on the nose. The palate is refined and elegant with red fruit, hints of spice and a beautiful silky, supple tannin structure. With fresh acidity and sustained length, this is a standout wine. Melville Estate | Pinot Noir | Santa Rita Hills | USA Red Wine | 14% Duncan Smith Dunc Says A collection of 16 pinot noir clones from across Melville’s Sta. Rita Hills estate, this is a perfect example of the best that the region can produce. 40% of the fruit was fermented as whole-clusters with 60% gently destemmed in small (1.5 ton) open-top fermenters. Total skin and stem contact averaged 30 days (7 day cold soak, 2 weeks of fermentation and 1 week extended maceration). From the press, the wine was transferred directly into neutral barrel (10 year old French oak), where it remained sur lie without sulphur until June, when it was gently racked for the first time and prepared for bottling in August. Light garnet in colour, vivid aromatics of rhubarb, tangerine zest, fresh cranberry and juniper are immediately apparent while intriguing notes of eucalyptus, chanterelle mushroom, plum skin and green tea linger in the background. Focused and precise, with velvety tannins that frame the wines plush core as well as the lengthy and cohesive finish. Why Should You Buy Wine Online with Handpicked Wine Box?
