About Hanwell Wine Estate
The story of Hanwell Wine Estate began in the late 1960s when Tony and Veronica discovered a neglected vine in an old greenhouse at their new home in West Bridgford, South Nottinghamshire. Fascinated by its potential, they delved into viticulture through books and magazines, immersing themselves in a world far less accessible than it is today.
In 1975, they planted their first vineyard, later relocating it to establish Eglantine Vineyard, nestled between Nottingham and Loughborough. Despite scepticism about the region being too far north for grape ripening, their ingenuity prevailed. In the 1990s, they earned an award for innovation by developing a manual wooden “giro-pallet” to riddle champagne bottles in bulk. By the early 2000s, they made history by producing England’s first Ice Wine, North Star, which has gained international acclaim and was recently served at the King’s Coronation banquet at the Ritz Piccadilly, London.
In the 1980s, Tony and Veronica embarked on a quest to test and preserve diverse grape varieties. Over decades, they trialled 250 varieties for their resilience, quality, and ability to thrive in Nottinghamshire. Select varieties were later sent to the UK National Collection, continuing their legacy of innovation.Today, trials persist across Eglantine Vineyard and Hanwell Wine Estate, where 15 PIWI varieties, bred for disease resistance, are being closely monitored. The family’s pioneering spirit and passion for English winemaking remain at the heart of their work, shaping the future of viticulture.

This Ruby red wine displays a vibrant deep red color with a delicate purple hue. On the nose, enticing aromas of Doris plum and a hint of cinnamon emerge, layered over a subtle smoky core.
The palate unfolds with flavors of red summer berries, complemented by intriguing notes of liquorice and lavender. A crisp acidity introduces the wine, leading to a medium-bodied profile with fine, silky tannins and a lingering finish of violets and ripe berries.

Character: Light, Fruit-forward
Aromas: Cherry, Wild Strawberry, Spice
Flavours: Red Fruits, Gentle Oak
Style: A light and summery English Red.
Food Pairing: Pair with lamb, game, or enjoy on its own.
A pale red Pinot Noir, the colour is deceptive, not revealing the powerful red fruits hidden within. Full of wild red fruit characters on the nose, the palate is soft, with intense red cherry and gentle spice from the time spent on oak. The perfect red for summer, ideal with a BBQ.
Winemaker's Notes: Just the ripest Pinot Noir was used for this light red. The grapes were crushed and fermented partly in tank and partly in barrel. Throughout the ferment regular pump overs were conducted to extract a little more colour and weight. The oaked proportion of the blend then spent a further 12 months in oak before being bottled.
Wine: Still Red
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Body: Light
Sweetness: Dry
Alcohol: 12%
Oxney Estate Organic Wines Woodhouse Pinot (6 Bottles) Rye, East Sussex, England
FREE SHIPPING WITHIN UK MAINLAND
Woodhouse Pinot is a light and fruity red with lovely complexities and exceedingly moreish!
The demand for red wines in the UK is high, and we created this multi vintage wine to take advantage of those years that are very kind, providing heaps of ripe red fruit, as well as those years where it is a bit more of a struggle.
Each year we will add to a perpetual reserve, much like the soleras system used for making sherry, whereby we partially remove wine from barrels each year for bottling, then top up those same barrels with wine from the current vintage.
This not only blends the wine for a fairly consistent flavour profile, but is also gives the wine an opportunity to become more balanced as each vintage comes and goes. From tannins and acidity, to fruity notes and savoury notes. Bottled un-fined and un-filtered.
Enjoy at lunch or dinner with many different foods or all on it’s own. This delightful red wine may be a little too easy drinking!
