Bolney Estate Pinot Noir 2018
Leather, spice and chocolate complement plums and black cherry
A salve to the senses, this perfectly balanced Pinot Noir has soft tannins and juicy red cherries on the palate. Leather, spice and chocolate complement fresh plums and a smooth and creamy finish. The fruit was selected from our Bolney and Pookchurch vineyards. The Pinot Noir grapes were hand-picked, crushed and fermented on skins for around 7 days at 25-28°C. Fermentation was in small 600L bins, allowing punch downs by hand. After pressing, the wine underwent
malolactic fermentation, partially in barrel. The Bolney Wine Estate is a haven for wildlife, and through its traditional production methods and cultural practices, avidly promotes and maintains soil health, fertility and stability in its vineyards. The sandstone soils are some of the best in the country, providing the ideal setting to grow vines. WineGB Gold medal winner 2019.
