Brood Fermentation "Sedure" Pinot Noir 2023

Bright, balanced and earthy, this Pinot Noir is brimming with flavors of red plum, cola nut, confectionery red fruits and tobacco, with notes of wet earth and a touch of funk.

If you appreciate bright and balanced Northern Italian or Austrian reds with supple tannin, this is your kind of wine. Fermented on skins with a small portion of whole bunches. Aged in a mixture of oak puncheons and French barriques for 10 months and further aged in bottle for seven months before release. Unfined, unfiltered, certified organic, hand picked, minimal sulfur added at bottling.

"Brood" is a beekeeping term for the part of a hive where life is regenerating. "Fermentation" is an incredible, natural process of chemical change. Putting the two words together already evokes a lot. Winemakers Lauren Yap and Jim Brown collectively worked across the beer, wine, hop and malt industries for 10+ years and have now landed in the rich fruit basket that is Nelson, New Zealand. They dry farm their own organic vineyard with biodynamic practices and make minimal intervention wine.
