Taste
Mellow and richly fruited, with a smooth mouthfeel
Aroma
Stewed cherry with brighter redcurrant notes. Earthy undertones
Description
We have been lucky enough to secure a small parcel of Will Davenport’s Pinot Noir which is usually reserved for his delicious Sparkling wines. The Diamond Fields site was planted in 2000 and has been organic since the start. It produces very low yields of really ripe grapes with good colour and fantastic flavours. This organic Pinot Noir was made as naturally as possible with no filtration, limited use of sulphur, no fining, whole berry fermentation (destemmed), maturation in old oak barriques for six months.The result is a dark colour and substantial body for a Pinot Noir (especially English Pinot Noir), lots of cherry fruit and a really long finish. It has a smooth balance without any marked acidity and it will age for a few years in bottle. (Limited stock)
17/20 – JancisRobinson.com, ‘Deep, translucent crimson. Very pretty red berries and almost peppery aromas. Considering this is English, the fruit is glorious. Crunchy, mouth-watering redcurrants and cranberries. Pure, persistent, drawn long into high-wire acidity and silk-spun tannins.’ Tamlyn Currin, June 2018 (2016 vintage)
