"Pristine and elegantly perfumed, showing sweet cherry, violet, olive and game nuances, followed by a juicy palate delivering silky mouthfeel together with beautifully infused tannins. Supple and flowing to a refined finish. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023
"There’s a lovely perfume and purity of fruit that touches the senses first. Black Doris plums and dark cherries sit nicely alongside scents of stone and clay, dark florals and a whisper of vineyard spice. Dry, fresh, fruity, youthful, there’s some tautness from fruit tannins and acidity then flavours that reflect the bouquet. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Our Pinot Naturel is a wine that offers immense drinking pleasure, uncomplicated, expressive and with youthful freshness, energy and underlying tension. The nose exhibits pure Pinot fruit, aromas of freshly crushed forest berries with a hint of subtle earthiness but also some lifted floral notes resulting from the partial whole bunch fermentation. The palate continues the same youthful fresh flavour profile, supported by a gentle tannin grip to give the wine structure and length. A delightful summer red, joyful yet by no means simple.
Grapes sourced from Churton Vineyard (54%), Wrekin Vineyard (33%) and Fromm Vineyard (13%). No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro).
Hand-picked between March 18 th and 30th. “Wild” yeast fermented with mainly whole berries including approx. 25% 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.
Food Pairing: This wine is beautiful with beef, lamb, venison, pork, sausages all from the BBQ, vegetarian dishes, cheese and charcuterie, generally great with summer food!
