"The best English red I’ve tasted this year. Light, ethereal and magical."

- Olly Smith, Wine Expert Saturday Kitchen

Description

Our Précoce is an early ripening clone of Pinot Noir that was hand harvested in October from our own small parcel and Martin’s Lane vineyard in Essex.

50% semi-carbonic maceration using a fruit-forward yeast strain and 50% crushed fruit using a classic Burgundian yeast.

Tasting Note

Silky smooth and fruity on the palate with integrated tannins leaving a textured finish. The wine has not been cold stabilised and might throw a small crystalline deposit. This is harmless and demonstrates its minimal handling.

Technical information

50 % whole bunch, 50 % crushed fruit fermentation. 6 months ageing in neutral oak (3rd and 4th fill). 100 % malolactic fermentation. Minimal filtration. No fining agents have been used so the wine is vegan friendly gluten free. Alcohol: 12 %, residual sugar: <0.5 g/L, titratable acidity: 6.8 g/L.
