Hawkers Hill Pinot Noir 2023

Fresh red fruits and subtle hints of earthiness and spice, with soft tannins

Light ruby in colour with a slight garnet hue, this Norfolk Pinot Noir offers aromas of fresh red fruits (raspberry, strawberry and cherry), with a delicate floral note. There are subtle hints of earthiness and spice. The wine is smooth and silky in texture, bright and fresh, with flavours of red fruits, including cranberry. Tannins are soft. The grapes were fermented on skins for two weeks and pressed into tank, before being aged in Hungarian oak for eight months. The wine was filtered prior to bottling. Hawkers Hill is a boutique vineyard of four acres of vines, lying just outside Burnham Market on the coast of North Norfolk. Co-owner Anthea Franklin discovered in 2015 that vines had been planted on Hawkers Hill Farm in the Roman times and had a dream that the vines could return. Together with neighbour and farmer Mark Thompson, Franklin planted the current vines in 2016. Winemaking is done by Burn Valley, who are based just up the road in North Creake.
