Not Your Everyday Pinot — Where Cool Climate Meets Quiet Power

Fuerza — Spanish for "Force" — is more than a name. It’s a mindset. A tribute to the unseen strength that carries us through the seasons, vines through the fog, and generations through change. This Pinot Noir is our ode to inner strength — not loud or overwhelming, but grounded, focused, and full of life. Born from vines rooted in the cool-climate soils of Green Valley, Fuerza captures the tension between brightness and depth in every glass.

Aromas: bright cherry, wild plum, warm brown spice

Palate: rhubarb, cola, brandied cherry

Finish: spice, red fruit

 
Tasting Notes

In the glass, it glows a radiant ruby — a promise of depth and vibrancy. Aromas of bright cherry, wild plum, and warm brown spice rise first, leading into a silky, layered palate of rhubarb, cola, and brandied cherry. Subtle French oak and fine
tannins frame the wine, while the lifted finish lingers with red fruit and spice. Vibrant, graceful, and true to its place.
VINTAGE NOTES

The 2024 growing season in the Green Valley was marked by a cool spring followed by a warm, well-paced summer and a smooth, uninterrupted harvest window — conditions that set up one of the more balanced and expressive vintages in recent memory.
Bud break followed a mild early season, giving vines a gradual start and ample time to develop strong canopies without excessive vigor. A period of warm summer weather helped drive flavor development while the classic Green Valley pattern of cool nights and maritime fog maintained vibrant natural acidity throughout the ripening cycle.
Harvest in 2024 was slightly earlier — a welcome contrast to the challenges of recent years. Fruit quality coming in from the estate vineyards shows excellent balance: sugars and acids tracking harmoniously, concentrated flavor development, and strong phenolic maturity. Clusters tended toward modest yields with small berries, signaling the potential for wines with precision, texture, and clarity of varietal expression.
What to expect from 2024 Pinot Noir: bright red fruit intensity with defined acidity, refined tannin framework, and energetic drive that supports both early charm and long-term aging.

Pairing Suggestions

Fuerza is a graceful Pinot — a wine that speaks with intention, not volume. It’s ideal for lovers of elegant, aromatic reds that dance between fruit and spice. Pour alongside a crackling fireplace as friends trade tales late into the night. Complement with charcuterie, truffle popcorn, or dark chocolate almonds for a mix of comfort and intrigue.
