Manual harvest for Clos Henri Pinot Noir Waimaunga

The vines grow in the clay soils of this unique terroir, where conditions are perfect for growing the Pinot Noir grape. Pinot Noirs from this region are known for their naturally dense structure, with rich notes of dark fruit and distinctive aromas. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand. After harvesting, the bunches are sorted to select only the finest quality grapes. The grapes are then destemmed. Clos Henri Pinot Noir ferments in oak barrels. Before fermentation begins, the grapes undergo a cold maceration for about a week. During this period, the grapes remain in contact with their skins, allowing for a light extraction of flavor and color. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 25 percent of which are new. This oak aging adds a refined texture to the wine and contributes to the development of well-integrated tannins.
