2018 | Balfour Winery | Suitcase Pinot Noir

Nose of Chocolate, chestnuts, leather, dried tomato, gamey, mushroom, petrichor, and deep, deep black and red fruit. On the palate the fruit jumps bang to the foreground with bright, light ripe red fruits, wonderful black plum, truffle, dried thyme, mint, dill seed and fennel. The finish goes on and on.

Reviews:

• Decanter: Aged half-and-half in French and American oak, the Pinot Noir features an outburst of savoury, meaty scents, in addition to dried roses, smoked red cherry and bacon notes on the nose and the palate, dusted by crushed almonds, liquorice and cinnamon. The intense red berry fruits are supported by fine-grained tannins and a decent level of acidity.

Producer Information

Balfour Winery has been producing England's most iconic and exclusive pink fizz, Balfour Brut Rosé, since its award winning 2004 vintage. The family-owned winery uses traditional Champagne grape varieties and methods in the production of its sparkling wines and also leads the way in still wine production. Our vineyards were established in 2002 and are predominantly planted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Bacchus although more recently, plantings of more unusual varieties like Pinot Blanc have been added. All our grapes are handpicked by our vineyard team and blended in our state-of-the-art Winery to produce wines with a distinct ‘house style’ of elegance and purity, showcasing a soft mousse with a fruit-forward approach and a refreshing, lively acidity.
