Pinot Noir 2022

Our Pinot Noir vines (a mix of high quality Burgundian and German clones) are planted on a south-facing slope, that runs down to the salt marsh and tidal estuary. 2022 was warm and dry, giving us a pristine crop.

The grapes were de-stemmed prior to cold soaking and fermentation with gentle punch-downs, encouraging delicate aromatics and a fine tannin structure. The wine was then aged for 9 months in used oak barrels. The result is a perfumed, supple Pinot Noir, with flavours of wild strawberry and forest floor, supported by soft tannins.

The still red won a gold award for Wine GB and overall best Pinot Noir in the Eastern Region from Wine GB. It has also won a bronze award for the Great British Food Awards 2024. Judged by Chris Stein. Only 4,000 bottles have been produced.
