MAGGY HAWK
HARVEST NOTES
All plants require water to grow, and grapevines are no exception. The 2021 growing season was our driest yet. The Maggy Hawk vineyard relies on rainfall in the winter and spring to ll our vineyard ponds to irrigate our vines during the summer months. These ponds ran dry a few weeks before harvest began. Fortunately, the grapes made it across the nish line without being affected by the drought. We typically harvest over 2-3 weeks. In 2021, everything was ready at once, and we harvested in just one and a half weeks. The clusters had a shorter ripening period and were harvested on the earlier side, which produced wines with intense hues, great acidity, and concentrated aromas and flavors.
W I N E M A K I N G
The 2021 Jolie Pinot Noir is a unique selection of clones from blocks from across the vineyard. Each block is vinied separately, and upon arrival the grapes are cold soaked prior to fermentation. The fruit is then gently pressed off, with the free run juice racked off separately from the harder pressing, and undergoes fermentation as well as malolactic fermentation in separate barrels. The wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, with 16% new oak. Finished unned and unltered.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Silky and rened, this vintage is like red velvet. The aromas start this sensual wine off with fresh, ripe strawberry and rose petal. The wine continues with chocolate raspberry, cassis, and luxardo cherry, with a hint of cedar on the palate. A bright acidity up front melts away on the nish and leaves with well-integrated tannins.
