Pinot Noir Twenty Twenty Two
Our Pinot Noir is an elegant expression of this delicate grape. The 2022 vintage - which was named Best English Red at the IWC Awards this year - is bursting with fruit: morello cherries, berries and soft spice. There’s complexity too, with earthy minerality, smoky notes and a long finish.

REALLY SHOWS THE PROMISE OF ENGLISH PINOT NOIR.
Mid youthful purple red; a particularly pretty black cherry fruit scent, persistent too; medium full, fresh, delicately tannic, with a touch of residual CO2; sweet, pure, gently juicy, long and subtle to taste, a real aromatic complexity here, and with excellent aromatic, lightly spicy length. This is very good indeed and, as with the earlier wines, really shows the promise of English Pinot Noir. On the cusp of lesser 1er Cru.
A CLASSY DIMENSION.
Judicious oaking adds a classy dimension to Gusbourne’s gorgeous, savoury, mocha-led 2018 Boot Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir.
SLENDER AND DELICATE.
Ripe, red cherry notions on the nose come with a restraining sense of smokiness. The palate, slender and delicate, then adds lovely pepper spice while translucent, silky tannins fold gently around that lithe body.
ethereal charm
A delightful nose with summer pudding, strawberry and blackberry to the fore, then a little spice and a hint of menthol and eucalypt. The palate is soft and approachable, acidity finely balanced but far from obtrusive, hints of spice and pepper from the oak. The ethereal charm belies harmonious weight and a texture which will work well, gastronomically speaking. The finish is poised and persuasive, soft spice framing the edifice very agreeably. 92 points
Aromas of ripe strawberry, morello cherry and earthy spiciness combine with attractive flavours of wild raspberry and cranberry.

Chef Adam Byatt is the chef and owner of Trinity in Clapham, which has held a Michelin star since 2016 and has been voted in the top ten restaurants in London numerous times. Byatt knows how to invent a feast for the tastebuds and has recommended Gusbourne Pinot Noir as a brilliant wine pairing to his creations.
Byatt recommends pairing Pinot Noir with his modern take on a traditional Italian recipe; Sardine Bolognese. The delicate, crunchy red fruits work really well with the oily fish, bouncing off the tomato sauce. Cool climate Pinot is an ideal pairing, because the structure is elegant yet still retains freshness. Other classics that pair beautifully with Pinot Noir include earth mushroom recipes, as well as duck based dishes, where the silky tannin and elegant freshness of the Pinot Noir really balances the richness of the duck meat.
