The grapes were destemmed and gravity fed into open-top fermenters. The juice was inoculated with yeast from ‘The Wrekin’ vineyard. During fermentation a mix of gentle hand plunging, and pump overs occurred. After 18 days on skins the wine was gently pressed and transferred to French oak, where it aged for 14 months. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation in early spring before blending and bottling.

Flavours mirror the bouquet driven by white fleshed stone fruit then citrus. Well made, lengthy, new and delicious. best drinking from mid to late 2024 through 2029.2022 Sorrell The Wrekin Pinot Noir
CAMERON DOUGLAS MS -94 Points, Excellent
An excellent bouquet of pinosity with a mix of savoury dried herbs and red berry fruit scents, dark cherry and baked raspberry then baking spices of barrel from clove to a touch of nutmeg and vanilla. Some dried leaves and rose qualities with an earthy dried clay complexity. Excellent textures and flavours with firm tannins and a backbone of acidity. Flavours reflect the bouquet along with plum and vanilla, textures of a fine wine that with some careful cellaring will show its true potential from 2026 through 2036+.
