Cropped from a specific half-acre of the Merricks Grove vineyard, Terre de Feu (the land of fire) takes its name from the vein of pure red ferrosol soils of this plot. Several years ago, Barney noticed that the vines in this little ironstone buttonhole were producing slightly smaller bunches, yielding wines of greater depth and concentration than the surrounding vineyard. Thus, in 2013 the decision was taken to produce this micro cuvée. The power of the fruit enables a 100% whole-bunch ferment and Terre de Feu remains Garagiste's only Pinot to be made this way. It also spends more time on skins (23 days for the 2019) and is the most powerful and structured Pinot that Garagiste produces.

Garagiste Terre De Feu Pinot Noir 2019

Reviews

“There’s attention to detail with all the Garagiste wines, none more so than Terre de Feu: 100% whole bunches, 23 days on skins, wild yeast, lightly foot trod, matured in French hogsheads, 25% new, for 10 months. Beautifully harnessed flavours of cherry and pips, Middle Eastern spices, wood smoke, twigs and a grind of pepper. Furry tannins shapely across the fuller-bodied palate and mouth-watering acidity to close. Stamped with savouriness and serious intent.”
