Information about "Paul Clüver Seven Flags Pinot Noir 2021"
The Paul Clüver Seven Flags Pinot Noir 2021 exemplifies the quintessential character of outstanding Pinot Noir: impeccable fruit purity and a superb structure, harmoniously balanced with a natural acidity. Its bright crimson hue captivates the eye, reminiscent of ripe black fruits. On the nose, this esteemed wine delights with alluring aromas of dark berries, cherries, raspberries, and spicy nuances underscored by hints of cigar box. The palate carries these flavors forward with savory notes, culminating in remarkable length, complexity, and freshness. Selected from the estate's mature Pinot Noir vineyards, aged between 13 and 19 years, this iconic wine represents the pinnacle of the Seven Flags label.
For this Pinot Noir, exclusively the Burgundy clone 113 was utilized. Hand-picked with utmost care, the grapes were crushed and subjected to a six-day cold soak at controlled temperatures of 12°-14°C. Fermentation initiated naturally, followed by the addition of selected Burgundy yeast cultures. Post-fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, where it matured for 12 months on fine lees.
