MICHAELL HALL SANG DE PIGEON PINOT NOIR 2023

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Michael Hall took advantage of the inverse hemisphere seasons and worked stints in Australia with Cullen, Giaconda, Henschke, Shaw + Smith, Coldstream Hills and Veritas; in France with Domaine Leflaive, Meo-Camuzet, Vieux Telegraphe and Trevallon. He then spent four formative years as winemaker for Barossa contract winemaker, Moppa Vintners.|Rather than moulding the fruit to a style, I¿m interested in passively crafting the wine with as few material inputs as possible: Hand picking, maceration, wild yeasts, lees contact, barrel maturation and no filtration. Allowing the season and site to show themselves. Slow wine.¿

Sourced from three sites in the Adelaide Hills: Holland Creek Road in Cudlee Creek, Mawson Road in Lenswood and Gully Road in Piccadilly. High winter rains preceded a very cool spring. Late budburst, flowering and a cool autumn combined for an extremely late vintage. Hand-picked on 25th March (Cudlee Creek), 13th (Lenswood) and 25th April (Piccadilly). Wild fermented in open fermenter with 33% whole bunches. Matured for 11 months in French oak (11% new, Francois Frères). Unfined. Vegan friendly. MICHAEL HALL WINES
