shining

The 2009 release of Shining, Mythopia's long-elevage orange Pinot Noir, bottled in 2019 after close to a decade in 400-litre old oak with no topping up. Three-month maceration on skins, fruit from the schist side of the river that crosses the Mythopia vineyard. The Kubrick-borrowed name fits the colour: by bottling the wine reads more orange than red, with sherry- and vin jaune-leaning notes layered over the original Pinot frame. 12% ABV. No SO2, no fining, no filtration.
