Made from the best fruit available in the UK, sourced (of course) from the Crouch Valley in Essex, transported on the day of harvest in refrigerated lorries to Devon, and aged in 30% new oak, this unique English Red wine displays a complex and intense array of black cherries, raspberries and bramble fruit, underpinned by subtle toasty oak.
2020 was a tricky year for many, with late frosts hitting the yields, but the quality recovered with a brilliant summer, making for an excellent vintage, just with less wine available.
Lyme Bay are doubling down on making themselves one of the real Pinot noir experts in the country and are a name to watch out for.
