Exuding a true sense of place, this still Pinot Noir is created from fruit specifically selected for its maturity and concentration. This wine has a wonderful ruby / garnet hue and displays notes of mulberry with violet, cherry and sweet spice aromas. On the palate there is ripe, red berry flavours with hints of forest floor. It is perfectly balanced with an elegant structure and silky tannins, leading to a lingering, textured finish.
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir Alcohol: 13% Vol Harvesting & Vinification: A blend of low yielding Burgundian Pinot Noir clones (375 (37%), 777 (21%), 115 (21%), 792 (18%) and 292 (3%) ) were picked during the 2023 harvest. Once in tank and inoculated, the grapes were gently pumped over twice a day for a period of two weeks. A component of the blend was vinified using the traditional technique of pigéage (punchdown). Malolactic Fermentation & Ageing: Once the primary fermentation was complete, the wine was drained off its skins into old (80%) and new (20%) French (75%) and American (25%) oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation. After six months ageing in barrels, the wine was lightly filtered and bottled in late spring 2024.
“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
