✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Pisoni Vineyard is the stuff of California wine legend. Perched at the southern end of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County, it was founded by Gary Pisoni in 1982. Lore has it that Gary smuggled Pinot Noir cuttings from a famous Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy—a selection now famously known as the "Pisoni Clone." Dominion Tantara harnesses this exceptional fruit to craft a Pinot Noir of immense depth and structure. Grown on decomposed granite soils and subjected to the cooling winds of Monterey Bay, the grapes yield a wine characterized by dark fruit, forest floor, and intense minerality. Tantara employs traditional French winemaking methods, utilizing French oak aging to balance the natural power of the Pisoni fruit, resulting in a sophisticated, age-worthy masterpiece.
🍾 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.
