The first Pinot Noir made by LSM, it is something that was thought about for a while but until we could find the right fruit it was just an idea.

Sourced from David Rado at Pemberley of Pemberton. It is 100% clone 114, one of the clones from Morey-Saint-Denis in Côte-d’Or, Burgundy. We chose this clone as it has good structure but also is well known for its bright, juicy fruit qualities.

 As the aim was to make a bright, summer style of Pinot we left 10% of the batch as whole bunches with the remaining 90% destemmed on top. Left untouched to soak for 5 days and then hand plunged for 10 days following. Basket pressed after 20 days on skins to a mix of barrels.

Matured for 8 months before blending and bottling without the use of any fining agents (vegan friendly) unfiltered so some slight sediment may still remain.

 This wine looks amazing after 10-15 minutes in the fridge and pairs up perfectly with duck, charcuterie, picnics and straws (reusable of course)
