✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Silacci Vineyard Pinot Noir is a compelling expression of Monterey's unique maritime terroir. Situated in a cool-climate zone heavily influenced by the nearby Monterey Bay, the vineyard experiences a dramatic daily weather pattern. Thick morning fog rolls in from the deep submarine canyon of the bay, followed by strong, chilly afternoon winds that sweep through the valley. This natural cooling system acts as a thermal regulator, extending the growing season and allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. This slow maturation process preserves the grapes' natural acidity while fostering deep color, thick skins, and highly concentrated flavors. Dominion Tantara translates this dramatic climate into the glass using traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, resulting in a structured, elegant Pinot Noir defined by dark fruit, earthy undertones, and a signature vibrant acidity.
🍾 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.
