Paulmara Project X Dry Red 2020

The fruit was sourced from a single vineyard in McLaren Vale. It's variety is a secret..... but we like to say it's Pinot Noir on the nose and Nebbiolo on the pallet.The grapes were hand picked at optimal ripeness and crushed to a single Tonnellerie Quintessence Pearle oak fermenter. The wine underwent a natural fermentation with hand plunging 3 to 5 times daily until the completion of fermentation.The wine was then pressed through a small hand basket press and filled to a single neutral French oak barrique for 10 months.The wine completed natural malolactic fermentation in barrel with no SO2 used until bottling.The wine was neither fined, nor filtered.
