2017 Eyrie Estate Pinot Noir

The Estate blend combines Pinot from Eyrie’s 5 certified-organic estate vineyards.  Farming is certified organic, but Jason and his team take this only as a starting point.  Viticulture at all of the Estate vineyards follows the precepts of regenerative no-till farming, with strict attention paid not just to the vines but to the healthy networks of soil organisms that support them.  Not only does this approach avoid the need for artificial irrigation, it also nourishes the vines without the need for additional fertilizer, and captures atmospheric carbon.

Picked by hand, our Pinot noir is destemmed and put into a variety of fermenters, from small one-ton bins to a 5 ton wooden cuve, to undergo native primary fermentation.
