Description
The Estate blend combines Pinot from Eyrie’s 5 certified-organic estate vineyards. Farming is certified organic, but Jason and his team take this only as a starting point. Viticulture at all of the Estate vineyards follows the precepts of regenerative no-till farming, with strict attention paid not just to the vines but to the healthy networks of soil organisms that support them. Not only does this approach avoid the need for artificial irrigation, it also nourishes the vines without the need for additional fertilizer, and captures atmospheric carbon.
Picked by hand, our Pinot Meunier is destemmed and put into a variety of fermenters, from small one-ton bins to a 5 ton wooden cuve, to undergo native primary fermentation.
Our barrels are mostly neutral—for this vintage, only 8% were new. Having undergone native malolactic fermentation, hand punched twice a day, the 2021 Pinot Meunier was blended after 22 months and then bottled and sealed under Diam cork.
Notes of strawberries, dried cranberries, roses, lilacs and spices. Medium-bodied, delicate and ethereal yet structured and compact, with a polished, silky aftertaste. Drink now.
