Since our first vintage in
1999, Windy Oaks driving objective has been to produce world-class Pinot Noir
that faithfully represents our unique vineyard terroir, with no compromises. Our
winemaking begins in our vineyards, which we farm in a fully sustainable way,
using many organic and biodynamic practices.
In the winery, our
philosophy is to use a minimal intervention approach to fully preserve the grape
quality achieved in our vineyards. Nothing is rushed—every effort is made to let
the wine evolve naturally to its best expression. Hence, the winery is
all-gravity, wines are aged on their lees in French oak for 17 to 27 months, and
all wines are bottled without filtering or fining
All of our pinot noirs are
unfiltered and unfined, ensuring the purest expression of the grape. Because
pinot noir is such a delicate grape, we do not use pumps; we use 100% gravity
during harvest, crush, press, and bottling, to preserve the subtle nuances of
the wine. And half of the fermentation bins are done with indigenous
yeast.
