The grapes for the Paul Clüver Village Pinot Noir are carefully selected and picked by hand to ensure the best quality. After harvest, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with part of the grapes left intact to undergo a semi-carbonic maceration. This process enhances the fruity aromas and creates a softer tannin structure. The wine is then aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, which adds to the complexity and structure of the wine.
