Description
The practice of fermenting various grape varieties grown in the same vineyard together presents an intriguing process, yielding results that are not only delicious but also offer a truly unique portrayal of the specific vineyard site and its region. Dead Flowers exemplifies this concept, being a field blend of Pinot Noir and Gewrztraminer sourced from a single vineyard in Waipara. This wine undergoes a co-fermentation, combining both white and red grapes, with a portion fermented on the skins and another portion directly pressed. Following fermentation, it is aged in a combination of oak barrels, tanks, and amphorae.
The result is a wine that is vibrant and refreshing, boasting a plethora of floral aromatics and the characteristic spicy textures of Pinot Noir. With its light red hue, Dead Flowers is perfect for chilling, offering a crunchy and invigorating drinking experience. Once the bottle is opened, it tends to disappear quickly, testament to its irresistible allure.
