This svelte and seductive Pinot Noir is made from grapes grown at Creeksea Place Barns on the bank of Essex’s River Crouch. Red cherry and raspberry characters combine with cola and black pepper to create a juicy and well-rounded wine.
Single-site Pinot Noir was hand-picked in mid-October. The bunches were destemmed and cold-settled for 48 hours before fermentation in open-topped bins. Daily punch-downs ensured good extraction from the delicate skins adding colour, tannin and a smidge of spice.
Fermentation took 15 days, and after completion the wine was racked into a single 228-litre French oak barrel where it underwent malolactic fermentation which helped to soften the acidity and lighten the mouthfeel. The wine was matured for 11 months in oak before bottling, which means it remains fresh and fruit-forward.
The wine was bottled on 2nd October 2025. Just 280 bottles were produced.
No animal products or derivatives were used to make this wine.
