Derringstone Pinot Meunier 2022

This unique, still, white Pinot Meunier displays a pale gold hue, lightly tinged with a delicate pink. On the nose, it is reminiscent of a Kentish orchard in the spring, with inviting aromas of pear and apple dancing with white blossom notes. On the palate there are hints of pear and red winter berries with a luxuriously mouth-filling texture and bright finish.

Pinot Meunier grapes from the Railway Hill vineyard, overlooking the picturesque hamlet of Derringstone, were picked and carefully pressed.

The juice settled for 48 hours before racking, underwent a long, slow primary fermentation using aromatic yeasts and completed full malolactic fermentation.

The wine rested over the winter months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks to build depth and palate weight before bottling in spring 2023.
