2024 Blood Moon Wines 'Dream' Pinot Noir - CENTRAL VIC. 750ML
Vineyard - Dash Farms in Faraday near Bendigo. A cool, sheltered valley where fruit ripens at a measured pace.
Winemaking - 20% of the fruit was placed in the bottom of the fermenters, the rest gently destemmed over the top. There was no plunging, just cap rolling. Wild yeasts were allowed to complete the fermentation, maceration was 20 days. Pressed to predominantly older neutral French oak barrels, with a couple of second and third fill barrels in the mix. Maturation was 9 months. The clones (MV6 and D5V12) were vinified separately and blended prior to bottling. No additions apart from sulphur, no fining or filtration. Vegan friendly.
Label - Detail from a charcoal and crayon nude. Hip. Or a terrain map of a lake with forest. Or a grape cross section. Or a lunar crater. Or a bubble rising in a dream.
