Viticulture: Grapes sourced from Churton Vineyard (80%) and Wrekin Vineyard (20%). No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. Both vineyards certified organic (BioGro).
Winemaking: Hand-picked on March 15th and 19th. “Wild” yeast fermented with mainly whole berries including approx. 26% whole bunches, resulting in a partial “Macération Carbonique”, that gives the wine a vibrant, floral lift. Then pressed and allowed to go through malo-lactic fermentation in old Burgundian barrels. Neither fined nor filtered and made without any adjustments or additives except for a minimal amount of sulphur at bottling to ensure the wine’s stability.
Winemaker’s comments: Vivid red/purple colour. Immediate appeal on the nose, exhibiting primary Pinot fruit with fresh, dark forest berry aromas that lead to the youthful, firm and focussed palate. The wine has an intensely aromatic and pure flavour profile with a distinct “Macération Carbonique” fragrance from the partial whole bunch fermentation, which also adds a gentle CO2 lift, giving an elegant mouthfeel to this otherwise high energy Pinot. Very fine tannins and a long aftertaste.
Food match: This wine is beautiful with beef, lamb, venison, pork, sausages all from the BBQ, vegetarian dishes, cheese and charcuterie, generally great with summer food!
