Description

Single varietal Pinot Noir hand harvested at the beginning of November 2021.

Delicate floral notes and lifted red fruit aromas of strawberry, red currant and cranberry, with just a hint of smoke, orange peel and sweet spice on a lingering finish.

Extended hanging time on the vines ensured peak physiological ripeness was achieved. Fermented in small batches with manual pigéage to help with extraction of flavour and structure. Transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and further ageing for 12 months.

Small batch, only 900 bottles produced.

Founded in 2018 by Umut and Katie Yesil, the 11-acre vineyard benefits from south-westerly slopes, London clay soil, and a unique microclimate near the River Crouch.

Situated in the southeast of the country, Essex benefits from one of England's warmest and driest climates, which is ideal for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its still wines, including elegant and aromatic Bacchus, often likened to Sauvignon Blanc for its vibrant acidity and fresh, fruity character. The area also excels in producing excellent sparkling wines using traditional methods, made from classic varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. With its combination of favourable climate, diverse soils, and innovative winemaking techniques, Essex offers a promising and distinctive wine experience for enthusiasts seeking premium English wines.
