Crouch Valley Pinot Noir | Sugrue South Downs
A still Pinot Noir from Essex, what Dermot has dubbed 'the most exciting emerging wine region in the world'. Notably classic in style, it's aromatic and elegant, with cranberry notes sitting stop earthy undertones. The tannins are fine-grained and the finish is full of peppery spice. A long-awaited and exciting release!
