Raised By Wolves
Raised by Wolves is the brainchild of Adam Mason winemaker at Mulderbosch Vineyards. The name is a parody of the constant one-upmanship of winemakers: My wine is a single vineyard. ... Yeah well my wine is naturally fermented. ... Oh yeah well my wine is hand sorted by berry. And Adam's response: Well my wines are all of the above and I was raised by wolves. The Raised by Wolves wines are all vinified with minimalistic intervention to allow the true character of the varietal and the site-specific terroir to shine through.
Description
This pure-fruit Pinot Noir shows lively notes of strawberry and raspberry. As the name suggests, the vineyards are strewn with limestone giving the wine a balance of riper fruit character with unexpected mineral edge.
Food Pairing
Pairs very well with local venison complimented with elements of bacon, cloves and a stewed fruit chutney.
