Grace 2024 750ml

Grace is a new take on Pinot Noir where we have pressed the grapes as soon as handpicked to limit colour pickup.

This wine is elegantly dangerous! You might consider it a grown up Rose. It comes from out own estate grown Pinot Noir grapes, handled with care and sensitivity from budburst to bottle.

A very pretty blush colour, Grace is eextremely attractive in the glass but its true beauty shows to the nose and taste. Fresh apple, pear and citrus notes on the nose, crisp and dry on the palate with a touch of spiciness. The very small 2024 vintage has delivered a wine that is fresh, vibrant and round to taste with a lingering dry finish-delicious!

This wine can be presented as a sophisticated Rose' but equally sits alongside a white wine selection, filling that gaping hole between Pinot Gis (its cousin) and Chardonnay (its alter ego).

Grace has the complexity to take you from that long lunch into a evening meal. It is brilliant with the ususal white wine food pairings and absolutely sings with seafood.
