Description

This is the tenth release of Forager Pinot Noir, after frost wiped out the 2021 crop. 2022 was a naturally low yielding season as the vines rejuvenated from the 2021 frost. The season provided challenges throughout – requiring more hands on work in the vineyard as rain and higher humidity bought more growth to the vines. Several passes through this small vineyard to tend to shoot thinning, bunch thinning, dropping shoulders and leaf plucking have provided the natural raw ingredients for a vibrant and expressive wine. The fruit was hand picked in early April and left outside in the vines to ferment with a full 28 days on skins, before bringing to the winery for a gentle pressing to French oak barrels. The wine was aged for 15 months before bottling without fining or filtration.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

At Forager Wine, it all started with a curiosity to let nature be more involved. To allow the wine to naturally ferment from grapes to wine outside in the vineyard.

I wanted to make a small batch of wine that I could truly call my own – and, who knows, perhaps something to pass onto the kids one day if things worked out alright.

Focusing on Pinot Noir that defines what we love about this variety – it can balance a fine sensory line between savoury and varietal fruit. Pushing boundaries while adhering to the traditional art of making wine.

When you plant Pinot Noir on limestone slopes located in cool climate weather perfection, the sense of place shines through strongly.

Enter ‘Forager’ – hand picked hillside grapes, using wild vineyard fermentations, no fining or filtration and aging without the use of heavy oak. It’s Pinot Noir with purity – and we think it’s a fine natural expression of this classic variety.

We are so glad you found us.
