About Polgoon Vineyard
Polgoon – Cornish for “Pond on the Downs” – perfectly reflects the vineyard and orchard’s stunning location atop a sunny hill overlooking Mounts Bay. This connection to the land and sea is beautifully illustrated on Polgoon’s labels and logo, representing its deep roots in the Cornish landscape.
John and Kim Coulson purchased Polgoon in 2002 after years as fish merchants in Newlyn. Transforming the derelict flower farm into a vineyard, they planted 3,500 vines in 2004, including Rondo, Pinot Noir Précoce, Seyval Blanc, and Ortega. Their first harvest in 2006 was a triumph, producing an award-winning still rosé. Despite early challenges, including harsh Cornish weather, they diversified into cider production, which remains a key part of their business.
John is a self-taught winemaker, adapting techniques to Cornwall’s unique conditions. Polgoon now produces an exquisite range of still and sparkling wines, celebrated for their clean, delicate expression of English fruit.
Sustainability is at Polgoon’s core. They create wildlife corridors and preserve natural habitats across 40% of the land, supporting biodiversity with features like ponds and beehives. Polgoon minimises environmental impact with strict recycling policies, reduced plastic use, and collaborations with initiatives like Plastic Free Penzance, earning Plastic Free Status in 2018. Pressing waste is repurposed as animal feed, and their shop supports local businesses to reduce transport miles.
Polgoon embodies a deep love for the environment, producing high-quality, sustainable wines and ciders while fostering a connection to the land and community.

Balfour Luke’s Pinot Noir 2025 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England
FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE
Classic cool climate Pinot Noir, delicately aromatic with Red berry fruits, cherry, raspberry and spicy vanilla with soft but firm tannins.
“This isn’t just very good English Pinot Noir it’s simply very good Pinot Noir” is how our Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias, described his newest vintage of Luke’s Pinot Noir, from the superb 2022 harvest.
Inspired by our home, with flavours reminiscent of English cherries and a touch of spice. Coming from vineyards planted specifically for the creation of English Pinot Noir, this wine is rich, ripe and structured.
With our estate’s combination of the prime Wealden clay vineyards, Burgundy clones and careful winemaking, our winemakers have built Balfour’s reputation for producing some of England’s finest red wines. And Luke’s Pinot Noir is a superb example of a style which is growing in reputation and drinking brilliantly right now.
Here’s three reasons to try our new Pinot Noir now:
1. Cool climate excellence: this style is closer to New World Pinot Noir, rather than traditional French examples, but still comes from Burgundy clones. It’s the best of both worlds.
2. Lightly oaked: with judicious use of French and American barrels to add a savoury complexity and depth
3. Very on-trend: English red wine is a really exciting frontier, and this is a critically acclaimed example which is even served in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Our pairing guide: This is a light, summer fruit flavoured red. Our winemaker recommends serving this lightly chilled (just 10 minutes in the fridge before uncorking). The fresh fruit flavours and low tannins mean it will complement, rather than overpower, delicate flavours – making it ideal with white meats, roast vegetables, mushrooms and even herby lamb. Ferg had it with a butterflied leg of lamb marinated in harissa and Moroccan spices cooked on the BBQ and can confirm this pairing is also quite good
