Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

White peach, orange blossom & kumquat notes burst out of this wine. It's not often you come across a white pinot noir, and the folks at Amity use a delicate touch to allow the unique properties of this red grape to come through as a white wine. They hand-pick these pinot noir grapes typically about a week earlier than for their red wines to preserve acidity, then whole bunch press very gently which means little skin contact, and hence little color pick-up. All of the color and most of the tannin in red wine comes from the skin so if you press right away and press lightly you can extract the clear juice, creating a beautifully light-in-color white wine with red wine characteristics.
