2019 Au Contraire Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 0.75 Ltr. Red
picture of

Beautiful, deep cherry red color. In the nose those same cherries, strawberries and a hint of plum accompanied by a pleasant, soft, spicy undertone. Elegant and silky mouthfeel that supports the delicate but ripe fruit. The final swells wonderfully and continues to touch the palate. Pinot Noir with style that easily places itself next to top Bourgognes.

Its delicate character and fresh style makes it ideal for eating on the basis of duck, pork or other refined meat meals. Also delicious with various fine cheeses such as goat cheese.

climate

The vineyards are situated on the coast and slightly higher up so that they are above the fog line. This guarantees grapes from a cool climate that nevertheless show sufficient sun and maturity.

soil

A variation of vineyards in Sonoma Coast with the main substrate: Goldridge. These are sandy soils with layers of clay and clay ideal for grapes such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
