Rouleur Whitlands High Plateau “Strawberry Field” Pinot Meunier
£24.95
Tasting Notes
On the nose our Meunier presents lovely varietal rose petal florals, orange citrus rind over pomegranate and amped up brambly red fruits courtesy of the cab mac. The palate is juicy and fruit forward with hints of grit and lovely fruitfulness that flows to the finish backed by bright natural acidity.
Producer Profile
As a keen cyclist all his life, Matt’s love affair with the bike matches his passion for making wine from exceptional sites across the Yarra Valley and elevated, alpine climbs of the Whitlands High Plateau. Rouleur (noun – Roller) was inspired by vineyards Matt discovered while riding – chance meetings with growers and local people that helped turn dreams into reality.
Viticulture
Handpicked grapes exclusively from the alpine, Whitlands vineyard. V25 was the perfect vintage for Meunier which tends to enjoy extra ‘hang time’ hence the variety was seasonally suited and allowed Matt to play a little differently this year in the winery.
Winemaking
40% of whole bunches were tipped to a single OTF, gassed/wrapped and fermented carbonically for 5 days. After which we footstomped and allowed an extra 2 days for those sugars to dry before pressing straight to 300L hogsheads. The remaining 60% of grapes were destemmed and fermented wild, on skins for 10 days before pressing to tank and allowing the juice to finish primary fermentation.
Goes well with
Excellent choices include roasted duck, savoury pork dishes, mushroom risotto, or prosciutto charcuterie.
