Tasting Notes

Aroma

A complex nose of lifted red currants, black tea, chamomile, cola and toasted brown spices (Clove & Nutmeg).

Maturation

A portion of the whole bunches were transferred by hand into small 500L oak barrel fermenters for a period of carbonic maceration. 28 days on skins.

Palate

Lithe and sinewy upon entry to the palate, opening to suggestions of currants, wild blackberry and Dutch liquorice intertwined with a filigree of fresh acidity and powder fine tannin.

Vinification

Fruit for our small-scale Basket case Pinot Noir has been carefully selected with 100% whole bunch fermentation in mind from the outset. Hand harvested once the bunch stems remained green but carried a light sweetness when chewed. Following a philosophy of minimal mechanical intervention, there was no pressing. Free run wine was siphoned directly from fermenter to French oak barrels for maturation. No finings or filtration were used in the production of this unique small production.

Winemakers Comments

Basket-Case is a creative outlet, a chance to roll back my sleeves, get my hands dirty and connect with my wines on a much deeper level. By utilising tiny parcels of fruit and small scale ferments, I am afforded the freedom to experiment, to push the boundaries in an effort to tease out additional layers of subtlety and nuance - all in the hope of attaining the elusive notion of 'perfection'.
