He fell in love with a vineyard named “OCCIDENTAL Vineyard”, because it was located on the top of a coastal site, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He fell in love with Pinot Noir and its truly unique characteristics, vivid aromatics, a bright natural acidity and from that point onward, he devoted his life to the Pinot noir. After years of purchasing small plots that suited the growing and developing of this precious grape, he founded Occidental in 2011, a winery dedicated to the production of world-class pinot noir from the Freestone-Occidental area. Today, Occidental farms 85 acres of pinot noir. The vineyards are farmed with great skill and commitment by many of the same men and women who have worked alongside with him at Kistler Vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"occidental-station-vineyard-pinot-noir-2017","title":"Occidental Station Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach year at harvest, Occidental Station is our first vineyard to be picked. Since the fruit always goes into our fermenters first, it does not enjoy the benefit of large populations of yeast already circulating in the winery. Therefore, it is often the slowest to start and may take over three weeks to complete alcoholic fermentation. The extended time in the fermenter only enhances its expressive personality, which features a vibrant purple color, bright natural acidity, and notes of violet, graphite, and cassis. The Occidental Station pinot noir is distinctly purple in its fruit character, in comparison to the red-fruited Bodega Headlands Vineyards and Running Fence\/Bodega Ridge Vineyard wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Summergate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47792583344299,"sku":"II011-17","price":1548.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/occidental_station_vineyard_pinot_noir_1.jpg?v=1789199640"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/collections\/occidental.oembed","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
