The COVID situation escalated over the closing weeks of the season, posing unique challenges for harvest and vintage operations, which we managed with a few elegant pivots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many other regions in eastern Australia, the season was quite cool and we had some rain, so that fruit retained great natural acid and the harvest was naturally low yields of clean fruit with excellent flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-detail-accordion__title\"\u003eWINEMAKING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003eAs always, timing of picking was critical, and our team got it right again – pristine fruit of precisely balanced flavour and freshness reached the winery in perfect condition. It was destemmed and hand sorted before cold soak and fermentation in open fermenters with hand plunging. A small portion (about 10%) was fermented separately in whole bunches to add complexity and options at blending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine was matured for 10 months in a selection of French oak barrels, about 30% new.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736214139243,"sku":"SK61839913","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/HandpickedCollectionTasmaniaPinotNoir750ml_66b570e5-902b-4dd3-b3d3-6636e43f500a.jpg?v=1767590152","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2020-handpicked-collection-tasmania-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
