‘DEX’ Pink, St. Mary's Vineyard, West Sussex, England, 2023
100% Pinot Noir (Clone 386)
Grapegrowing: The St. Mary's vineyard is located in the hills north of Brighton on chalky soils. This is a cool site that is ideal for crafting complex but fresh wines from Pinot Noir.
Winemaking: The grapes are hand-harvested and crushed at BGW with 48-72 hours skin contact as the wine ferments in stainless steel vats at cool temperatures. This extended timing of skin maceration gives deeper colour and more flavour, with freshness enhanced by the inert conditions of the stainless steel vats.
Fact: We bottle all our pink wines in darker green bottles (instead of clear bottles) as we respect and love our wines, and this type of bottle protects the wine against light damage which is common on clear bottlings.
