Small Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Summary:
Gumeracha was known by the Peramangk people as “Umeracha” meaning watering place. Our vineyards sit in the
beautiful Torrens Valley 36km northeast of Adelaide. The sheltered vines trail into an intimate valley where a
central teardrop pond takes the sky. The valley feels sacred and alive with greens
and golds, a perfect place to create something beautiful. This along with and being
360m above sea leave and an average rain fall of 756mm lends its self to the cooler
wine varieties and wine styles. Sandy loam over shale with overlaying clay and
sandstone; help make up such a diverse site.
Vinification:
Fermented in open fermenters and 100% whole bunch. Wild yeast sets the tone
whilst the 25% new French oak adds length and complexity. Black cherry,
currant and a hint of spice from stalks, come’s a wine with a little hint of mocha.
ALC 14%

acidity.
