Hi folks, I’m here to introduce you to The Chosen 777 Pinot Noir from 2023. The Chosen is a range we created to highlight very specific clones or vineyard sites, diving deep into the finer details of what makes our vineyard unique. It’s a chance to explore and share the precise characteristics our site offers through its fruit.
777 refers to the clone used for this wine, which we’ve planted in a couple of spots on our Parkburn site. This particular bottling comes from a single parcel of fruit, resulting in just four carefully selected barrels.
We intentionally avoid using new oak in this bottling—at most, we use one-year-old barrels. This approach ensures the oak plays a supporting role, allowing the pure, intrinsic fruit quality of this specific clone to shine through.
It’s a fascinating wine to explore, offering an authentic glimpse into the nuances of our craft as winemakers and the exceptional fruit our vineyard produces.
