Pinot Noir 2023

Juicy, crunchy, vibrant Pinot Noir all held in an elegant, very ‘classic’ structure. Concentrated brambles (blackberry) and black cherry, damson fruit overlaid with quintessential Pinot perfumed aromatics and subtle dry spice. Subtle fennel and violet give further aromatic complexity and intrigue. Medium-light, chalky tannins give the wine great texture, acidity is refreshing but well-integrated and harmonious. Long, complete finish with all components pulling-together to the end. 

Little frost damage in April followed by a warm and settled May led to a fantastic fruit set meaning the growing season started off well. A heatwave in Europe led to persistent wet weather across July and into early August. However, the Summer ended as it had started, with one of the warmest September on record. The late burst of sunshine helped the grapes reach terrific levels of ripeness come harvest, meaning high quality and quantity of fruit was achieved across both Artelium sites. 

A great wine on its own at room temperature or with a slight chill. Ideal with seasonal game, lighter red meat dishes and lamb. A perfect partner to earthy mushrooms or protein-rich bean dishes. Suitable for Vegans. No animal-derived products are directly used.
