Trentham Estate Pinot Noir 2020 (Murray Darling)

Trentham Estate winery has been operating since 1988, where it has grown from the initial 30 tonne crush to a minimal but state-of-the-art facility handling 4,000 tonnes of premium fruit each vintage.

It allows the flexibility to perform different winemaking styles, resulting in the diverse and always consistent Trentham Estate wines.

The grapes for the 2020 Trentham Estate Pinot Noir were de-stemmed and pumped through a chiller into the fermentation vessel at 50˚C and cold soaked for 36 hours before yeast was added. Cold soaking is a winemaking technique used to increase the red berry characters in the wine. After the addition of yeast, the wine was fermented on skins for 5 days before pressing out. A portion of the wine was matured in French oak before blending and bottling. Winery Notes
