Wente Vineyards, Single Vineyard Riva Ranch Pinot Noir, 75cl, 2020

Wente’s Riva Ranch Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is named after the family’s Riva Ranch vineyard in Arroyo Seco, Monterey. Arroyo Seco is the ideal region to grow this Burgundian varietal because of the long, cool growing season, which allows the grapes to fully ripen and develop deep fruit flavours. The gravelly-loam soils found here, rich with shale and limestone deposits, impart desirable earthy and mineral qualities to the wine. We farm 8 clones of Pinot Noir, with each offering different flavours, textures and aromatics to the wine.
