A weighty Suffolk Pinot Noir - ripe black cherry and blackberry with a spicy finish of cloves and black pepper.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir grown at Mount Farm in Suffolk and Pimblett Farm in Essex. It was fermented in oak vats, then aged in used oak barrels on fine lees for 30 months before bottling.
Expect leather and jammy dark fruit on the nose, then ripe black cherries, hedgerow blackberries and raspberries. The texture is smooth but weighty, finishing with cloves and black pepper. Ark recommend decanting it before serving, or it can be laid down to age.
Contains sulphites (very low levels).
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Dietary: Vegan; unfiltered and unfined - some sediment may be present
