Description

Bolney Estate Pinot Noir 2021

Grape Varietals & Regions: 100% Pinot Noir from Sussex, England. From one of the sunniest & warmest areas of England

Taste Profile: Bright red in color with hints of red cherries & cedar wood. Mouth-watering flavours of blackcurrant and ripe fresh fig, with notes of dark cherry and white pepper. An elegant medium-bodied wine with a silky texture and good ageing potential, which will allow the development of more complex fruit flavours

Winemaking Process: Pinot Noir grapes were cold-soaked prior to fermentation. Post Fermentation, the wine then underwent malolactic fermentation. A small portion of the wine was transferred to oak and matured prior to blending and filtration.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
