Rouleur Macclesfield Pinot Noir

A lovely wine this one. And we didn’t make much either. 40 dozen only!

The 2022 growing season presented some challenges. Particularly for early flowering varieties like Pinot Noir. Strong winds, hail and generally cool, wintery weather around flowering, hindered vineyard progress at key points in the growth cycle - all leading to much, much lower yields. In some cases, crops were down 85%, as was the case here.
