Harrow & Hope Blanc de Noirs 2019
Red berry aromas mingled with just-baked brioche, a long creamy finish
This wine expresses everything that is great about Pinot Noir on the Harrow & Hope site, with pure fruit character, concentration, freshness and a lovely balanced texture. With 80% of this wine fermented using natural wild yeast in a selection of different-sized oak barrels, there is lots of complexity here; expect red berry fruit, creamy vanilla, citrus and a touch of hazelnut, carried on a persistent mousse of bubbles.
Harrow & Hope’s single-vineyard sits on an ancient Thames gravel terrace. Being quite central and away from the coast the vineyard experiences high summer day temperatures with cooler nights that preserve precious acidity.
