The Dark End of the Street // Pinot Noir 2023
Description
This moody Crouch Valley Pinot Noir is precise and polished with delicate red fruit, spice and a textural, earthy undertone. Grapes come from Missing Gate Vineyard, Essex.
Single-site Pinot Noir was hand-picked in late October. The bunches were destemmed and cold-settled for 48 hours before fermentation in open-topped bins. Daily punch-downs ensured good extraction from the delicate skins adding bright red-fruit notes and a dash of black pepper spice to the juice.
Fermentation took 18 days, and after completion the wine was racked into 228-litre French oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation which helped to soften the acidity and add a slight creaminess. The wine was matured for 13 months in oak before bottling, adding earthy undertones and roundness.
Bottled on 26th November 2024, the wine has spent 10 weeks in bottle prior to release.
No animal products or derivatives used in the making of this wine.
