This is the second bottling of Blue Velvet 2018, matured for 3 more years in the barrel and released in 2022.

Blue Velvet is the only Pinot Noir that is harvested from the same vineyard each year: the highest Mythopia plot which is set apart from the others, south-facing and exposed between the rocks.

Whole bunches of grapes, still on the stem, spend 9 months in airtight steel tanks (a kind of carbonic maceration). The grapes are then pressed and poured into old oak barriques for 2 ½ to 3 years of ageing.

A velvety mouthfeel with soft, integrated tannins, cherry and black pepper. Great for classic Pinot drinkers and natural wine lovers alike. 

Very small quantities available.
