Description
2022 marks the release of our first double pinot - a wild yeast co-ferment made with a blend of Pinots Noir and Meunier.
Winemaker Adrian Pike explains "The idea behind the Double Pinot came because I really wanted to make a red wine, but 2021 was challenging vintage with a lack of sun. To counteract the high acid levels, I decided to try a layered semi-carbonic maceration technique to break down some of the malic acid.
This is a juicy and fresh wine, which is best served lightly chilled. Redcurrants, strawberries and cherries on the nose with crunchy bright red fruit on the palate. Perfect for early autumn days".
