The hand harvested Pinot Noir fruit from Foggy Hill Vineyard was delivered to the Tapanappa Winery in the Piccadilly Valley. Because of the cool vintage, no whole fruit was included in the fermentation tubs. The tubs were filled with destemmed, crushed, and chilled must, before being immediately inoculated with our own grown yeast strain and allowed to ferment to a maximum temperature of 33°C with daily hand plunging of the cap.

Foggy Hill Pinot Noir epitomizes an "exquisite manifestation of this exceptionally cool maritime terroir," displaying a captivating deep purple hue, and unveiling delicate floral and spicy notes that harmonize with a profound terroir signature, evoking complex ripe strawberry puree with a subtle earthy undertone. This wine boasts moderate alcohol content and finely textured structure, with flavors that seem to gracefully dance upon water rather than alcohol—a truly unparalleled embodiment of the Foggy Hill terroir.

The 2021 vintage was the second consecutive cooler than average vintage after a sequence dominated by above average temperature vintages from 2006 to 2019.
