This wine has a wonderful ruby / garnet hue and displays perfumed damson with notes of wild strawberry and sweet spice aromas. On the palate there is ripe, red cherry, with hints of violets and mocha. It is perfectly balanced with an elegant structure and soft, caressing tannins.
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir Alcohol: 13% Vol Harvesting & Vinification: A blend of low yielding Burgundian Pinot Noir clone 115 (85%) and 777 (15%) grapes were picked during the 2022 harvest. Once in tank and inoculated, the grapes were gently pumped over once a day for a period of two weeks. A component of the blend was vinified using the traditional technique of pigéage (punch-down). Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: Once the primary fermentation was complete, the wine was drained off its skins into two-year-old French oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation. After four months ageing in barrels, the wine was lightly filtered and bottled in spring 2023.
“Stunning Pinot Noir with a Burgundian hint of spice, earth and cherry compote. Cool and elegant. Wow!” Helena Nicklin, Luxury Lifestyle Magazine “A powerful wine with a velvet texture. On the nose, crushed raspberries and cherries. along with some blackberry notes. There is a distinctive oak nature to this wine, with spice and smoke adding to the wine's obvious power. Savoury notes on the finish.” Decanter World Wine Award Judging Panel, 2022 “Gorgeous, floral, single vineyard pinot noir. One of our best reds to date!” Jane MacQuitty, The Times
