Danbury Ridge Pinot Noir 2023 is a dry red wine from the Crouch Valley of Essex. The long English 2023 growing season supported gradual ripening and bright acidity of Danbury`s Pinot Noir grapes. Low yields and clonal diversity contribute depth while a small proportion of whole-bunch fermentation adds tension. Ageing in mostly used barrels keeps the focus on fruit and structure. The 2023 shows ripe but transparent Pinot character with a direct finish shaped by extended hang time and careful picking.
