Bunches were cooled overnight and 80% were destemmed with 20% whole bunch in the fermentation tank. After three days of cold soak, the spontaneous fermentation started. Two pump overs were done daily on skins to prevent aggressive extraction. With fermentation completed, the skins were pressed lightly and wine pumped to 228 litre French oak barriques for maturation. After 16 months the best barrels were selected, blended and prepared for bottling..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIT PAIRS WELL WITH: Lamb, game, roasted duck, or mushroom risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSERVING TEMPERATURE: 16-18 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eANALYSIS: \u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 13.5 %\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: 2.4 g\/l\u003cbr\u003eTotal acidity: 6.0 g\/l; pH: 3.35\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGEING: 16 Months in older 228 litre French barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRODUCTION: 938 bottles were produced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRELEASE DATE: 25 November 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50343262519600,"sku":null,"price":1290.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7491\/8704\/files\/2_db0725b3-3d65-4f4f-9af1-7a178520a368.png?v=1782900313","url":"https:\/\/franciswines.com\/products\/pinot-noir-2023-2-bottles","provider":"Francis Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
