Sweetness: Dry

Grape: Pinot Noir

Grape info: Few grapes can match Pinot Noir’s almost mythical ability to communicate terroir. Although its sensitivity makes it challenging to grow, it is the very thing that makes it capable of almost unrivalled nuance. For many, the best Pinot Noirs represent a summit of what is achievable in wine.

About: Since 2002, Balfour have been at the heart of the growing English Wine industry- winning National and International awards, and the acclaim of sommeliers and wine experts to become one of England’s most respected wine producers.

With our estate’s combination of the prime Wealden clay vineyards, Burgundy clones and careful winemaking, our winemakers have built Balfour’s reputation for producing some of England’s finest red wines. Lightly oaked, with judicious use of French and American barrels to add a savoury complexity and depth.

Tasting note: Classic, cool-climate Pinot Noir, delicately aromatic with red berry fruits, cherry, raspberry and spicy vanilla with soft but firm tannins.

Character: Cherry, red currant, vanilla.
