The site is planted to a Burgundian style of high density of vines with 8,800 vines\/ha or 1.50 x 0.75 vine spacing as the cuvee name suggests. Dry grown since inception in 1989 and meticulously managed by owners Bob \u0026amp; Rita Ritcher. The low fertile grey-sand soils over clay and the vine age results in a very low yielding Pinot Noir block providing great concentration. A co-ferment of clones 777, MV6 \u0026amp; D2V5 \u0026amp; F6V7. 20% whole bunch - wild ferment with daily pigeage - pressed to old oak barriques for 10 months elevate - no fining or filtration - minimal sulphur post-malo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlorals support a background of red fruits. Our most elegant release to date, the fruit seems to sit quiet, with the sites savoury notes demanding attention. There is concentration with hints of game meat and a dense mid-palette. A fine black pepper spice wraps the wine, with fine tannins providing length. This wine has range and should age well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L'Appel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50746636664994,"sku":"34524","price":73.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/files\/20_4d7312bd-b9aa-45c0-b08f-8fb71a963aae.png?v=1793154008","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/2025-lappel-150x075-pinot-noir","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
