Tasting note
Juicy English Pinot Noir, brimming with red cherries and chocolate and perfumed with leather and spice.
Viticulture
Situated 15 miles form the south coast in West Sussex. Planted on south-facing slopes of sandstone, Pinot Noir grapes were selected from our Bolney Estate and Pookchurch vineyards.
Vinification
The Pinot Noir grapes were hand-picked, crushed and fermented on skins for around 7 days at 25-28°C. Fermentation was in small 600L bins, allowing punch downs by hand. After pressing, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, partially in barrel.
Food Match
The juicy palate and soft tannins of this wine is a great match for roasted pheasant, rabbit with herbs or wild mushroom risotto.
