2022 Tidebrook The Tipping Point Pinot Noir

A tipping point is a number of small changes occurring over a period of time which then reaches a level where one further small change has a sudden and very great effect on a system. As a result of fast-changing climatic conditions, we are now able to produce cool-climate
Pinot Noir in England. Ripe hedgerow fruit aromas with an underlying balanced acidity and a dry tannin finish. Barrel maturation adds toasty oak flavours to the brambly, christmas pudding fruit.

Vinification

The grapes were hand-harvested then partially destemmed and fermented in an open-top tank, with punch-downs daily to extract colour and flavour. Aged in 2nd fill 228-litre Burgundian oak barrels (Chassin, Damy and Francois Freres cooperages) for 12 months. Lightly filtered therefore a sediment may develop in the bottle.
