The Grange STILL PINK 2022

Description

The Grange STILL PINK 2022 is made from entirely from Pinot Noir grapes grown in our regenerative trial block where the undervine strip has not been mown for 4 years. The grass has competed very heavily with the vines and this has led to a reduction in yield from this block, which, not surprisingly, then produced grapes that were higher in sugars, lower in acidity and, most importantly, delicious tasting.

Once de-stemmed, the berries were left in the press for 4 hours until the free-run juice was just the right pale pink colour. Once pressed the juice was fermented at quite low temperatures allowing the fruit-laden grace of the Pinot Noir to express itself. This delicious, approachable wine has a texture and length not often seen in still English wine.

Tasting Notes

Pale pink in colour, with macerated berries, ripe stone fruits and heady summer flowers on the nose. A soft and juicy palate (reminiscent of biting into a perfectly ripe peach) is balanced by a refreshing acidity that pairs the wine perfectly with many summer dishes. It's a simple but sumptuous reflection of a select parcel of Pinot Noir taken from Burges Field and should be enjoyed this summer.
