“Eden Rift’s flagship Pinot Noir is composed of Dijon clones 115, 828, and 777, and vinified with 30% whole cluster fermentation on native yeasts. The wine is aged for 10 months in 30% new French oak. It opens with a bright, spicy nose and finely etched red berry fruit, joined by blood orange, spiced plum, dried sage, and pressed wildflowers. The finish is savoury and grounded, marked by loamy earth and subtle mineral tones.”
