Pinot Noir Red Wine

2025 was a special one for UK vineyards, especially those growing red grapes such as Pinot Noir which in a bad year can be difficult; in a good year can be great but in 2025 the grapes were exceptional! This was the warmest British summer since 2018, averaging over 16 °C from June through August. Consistent warmth and sunlight allowed even ripening; dry weather reduced disease pressure, particularly powdery mildew and botrytis; and early harvest windows gave winemakers flexibility to pick at optimal maturity.

We have therefore bought Pinot Noir grapes this year from neighbouring vineyards, taking advantage of the exceptional vintage. These are being made into a still red Pinot Noir wine which we are very excited about as the grapes were beautifully mature, disease free and with perfect sugar/acid balance. The wine will be available for sale in Summer 2026 - not that long to go!
