✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted as a deeply personal tribute, the 'Victor Francis' Pinot Noir is named in honor of winemaker Paul Lato’s late father. Sourced from the prestigious Peake Ranch Vineyard in the cool, wind-swept Sta. Rita Hills AVA of Santa Barbara County, this wine beautifully illustrates Lato's artisanal, low-intervention approach. The vineyard's unique marine soils and intense maritime influence—characterized by morning fog and cool afternoon breezes—impart a vibrant acidity and remarkable structural tension to the fruit. In the cellar, Lato coaxes out a seductive texture and purity, aging the wine in select French oak barrels. The result is a Pinot Noir of exceptional grace, balancing intense dark cherry and raspberry notes with savory undertones of forest floor and fine-grained tannins.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Paul Lato Wines er et anerkendt boutique-vinhus i Santa Barbara County, Californien, grundlagt i 2002 af den polskfødte tidligere sommelier Paul Lato. Med udgangspunkt i en kompromisløs, håndværksmæssig og minimalistisk vinfremstilling, hvor terroirets renhed og balance er i højsædet, samarbejder Lato med nogle af Central Coasts mest prestigefyldte kølige vinmarker, herunder Bien Nacido, Solomon Hills og Larner. Vingården høster stor international anerkendelse for sine intenst aromatiske, teksturerede og nuancerede Pinot Noir-, Syrah-, Grenache- og Chardonnay-vine i mikrolodder, som roses for deres rene frugtudtryk, strukturelle præcision og karakteristiske, poetiske cuvée-navne.
