✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Dierberg Vineyard Pinot Noir by Dominion Tantara is a masterful expression of the Santa Maria Valley's unique cool-climate terroir. Situated on the southern mesa of the valley, the Dierberg Vineyard is blessed with free-draining sandy loam soils and is heavily influenced by the maritime winds and morning fog rolling in from the nearby Pacific Ocean. This transverse coastal influence extends the growing season, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness while retaining their vibrant natural acidity. Dominion Tantara employs traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, including fermentation in open-top vessels and aging in select French oak barrels, to preserve the pure, site-specific character of the fruit. The resulting wine is celebrated for its elegant structure, silky tannins, and a complex aromatic profile of red berries, earthy forest floor, and subtle spice.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Dominion Tantara blev grundlagt i 1997 i det kølige Santa Barbara County i Californien og er en anerkendt artisanal producent, der især udmærker sig med sine terroirdrevne vine på Pinot Noir og Chardonnay. Vingården henter sine druer fra berømte marker på Central Coast, herunder Bentrock, Dierberg og La Encantada, og arbejder ud fra en filosofi om minimal indgriben med inspiration fra Bourgogne for at lade hver enkelt årgangs renhed træde tydeligt frem. I kælderen prioriteres spontangæring med vildgær, nænsom vinificering og en velafbalanceret brug af franske egetræsfade. Det resulterer i præcise og elegante vine med enestående dybde og et stort lagringspotentiale. Udover de roste enkeltmarks- og reserve-vine på Pinot Noir fremstiller Dominion Tantara også raffinerede mikro-cuvéer af Chardonnay, Syrah og Cabernet Franc.
