2021 RIKARD Blanc de Noirs
RRP: $70.00
The RIKARD 2021 Blanc de Noirs was made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown at 950m above sea level in the ultra-cool 2021 vintage of the Orange wine region. Fruit was hand picked and sorted before being gently whole bunch pressed to old, seasoned French Oak barriques.
A pale blush is all the extraction we got from the skins. Fermentation underwent naturally via wild yeasts, and the base wine stayed in oak for 10 months with intermittent lees stirring during that time. Blending occurred in January and the wine tiraged shortly after. Secondary fermentation occurred in bottle and it then spent 42 months on lees in bottle before being disgorged in November 2025 with zero dosage added.
