Sorrell ‘The Wrekin Vineyard’ Pinot Noir 2021
100% Hand-picked gravity fed into open-top fermenters 5-day cold soak, then inoculated from yeast from ‘The Wrekin’ vineyard. Gentle
pump-overs and left-on skins for 21 days before being gently pressed off and aged for 16 months in aged French oak. In spring, the wine
went through spontaneous malolactic fermentation. No juice clarification. It was bottled without fining or filtration: six different clones,
three picking days, and only 100 cases. BioGro Certified Organic #5732
ABV- 13.5%
Accolades : Cam Douglas
An intriguing bouquet with complexity and power, aromas of dark cherry and gently oak-spiced plum, sweet toasty barrel scents, some black currant, a touch of bacon and clove oak. Youthful with energy and core varietal fruit suggestions. Complex and dry on the palate with wood spices and smoky barrel qualities, flavours of dark berries and plum laced with smoky oak and wood spices. Medium+ acid line, varietal, textured, and a lengthy finish. A lovely wine with complexity and potential, best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.
