Delightfully approachable, yet complex, this full-bodied Pinot Noir exudes dark cherry and violet aromas.

Description

The Leveret brand is a descendant of the award-winning Coniglio range. The word “leveret” means young hare, three of which can be found dancing on the bottle’s label. The ears of the hares connect creating a triangular symbol that was used by the tin merchants of Devon, traders on the Silk Road.

With it’s own sense of history, and coming from an up-standing family, we’re excited to present a premium and reserve option for the Leveret brand.

    Vineyards and Winemaking

    The grapes for this generous wine were grown in the Central Otago region, on low yielding vines. After a long hot summer and the vines in perfect health the grapes were picked at ideal ripeness and flavour profile.

    The grapes were gently crushed and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to extract important colour and flavour components. Fermentation proceeded with light plunging for further colour, flavour and fine tannin extraction. After a 10-day post ferment skin contact regime, the resulting wine was then sent to barrel for twelve months ageing in quality French oak (35% new wood) to enhance its natural structure. The wine is un-fined to preserve the natural structure and terrior but was cross flow filtered prior to bottling on 13th October 2023 under screwcap closure.
