In the unusually warm year of 2022, Llanerch Estate seized a rare opportunity to showcase the versatility of the Pinot Noir grape, typically used in our sparkling wines. The outcome is the Llanerch Estate Pinot Noir Limited Edition, a testament to our vineyard's unique climate and terroir.

This still red wine, with its pale to medium colour, offers a visual preview of its exquisite character. Elevated in acidity with fine, soft tannins, it delivers a symphony of red fruit flavours—strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. This creates a smooth yet nuanced profile, perfect for those who appreciate the delicate complexity of a well-crafted Pinot Noir.

English organic Pinot Noir, grown on a south facing sandy clay soil site. The grapes are 50% destemmed (without cruching the berries) and fermented with natural yeast for a 10 days before pressing. Fermenting juice from the press is moved straight into oak barrels (barrels are between 5 and 20 years old) where it completes fermentation. The wine is then matured in old oak barriques for 9 months before bottling. We bottle without filtration and this wine may have a slight sediment in the bottle.

2022 vintage was another good vintage for Diamiond Fields, producing only 2000 bottles. The aromas of raspberry, plum and cherry and a pale red colour mark this lighter style of Pinot Noir. The alcohol level is only 11% making a very fresh fruit driven wine, perfect for a summer day. There is a backbone of tannic structure behind the fruit which will help the wine to mature over the next year or two.

Pinot Noir Early is a natural mutation of Pinot Noir that ripens about a week or two earlier than most Pinot Noir clones. It is naturally low yielding and dificult to grow in the UK.
