The Ninth Mile Pinot Noir comes from our Stanley vineyard. The red clay loam soil combined with warm summer days and cool nights allows the fruit to ripen fully while retaining good acid balance.
The fruit is hand picked and fermented on skins to near dryness, then gently hand pressed and transferred to barrels to complete fermentation. It is then aged for 12 months in French oak. The Ninth Mile Pinot Noir is neither fined nor filtered.
