2024 Sophie Schaal Pinot Noir

Deep ruby with hints of garnet, the nose is expressive of wild fruits - blackberry, blackcurrant and cherry. Hints of vanilla, spice and a savoury character. Supple and well-balanced palate. Fine silky tannins provide structure and elegance with a spice note on the finish.

Viticulture

Limestone soils provide excellent drainage whilst retaining essential minerals, encouraging deep root growth. Organic practices are used in the vineyard to preserve the balance of the ecosystem. No synthetic chemicals or pesticides used.

---

Vinification

The grapes are naturally fermented before ageing in French oak barrels for 10 months. Bottled without fining to preserve aroma finesse

Recommendation

Vibrant fruit and refined tannins make this a versatile partner for various dishes including mushrooms, grilled vegetables, red meats and game, though equally suited to white meats and poultry. Spiced notes harmonize with Middle Eastern and Moroccan cuisine.
