Wines Available
Lyme Bay Brut Reserve
Origin: England
This sparkling wine is made from a select range of grapes, which are ideally suited to sparkling wine production. Only the finest press cuts are used, and after an extended cold settle, the base wine is fermented at cool temperatures to maintain the grapes freshness. Attention is made at blending, along with reserve wines, to ensure the consistent vibrant quality that defines the wine. This fresh and fruity sparkler is a perfect drink for that special occasion, and pairs beautifully with quality fresh Seafood for which the South West is so famous.
Vinification
100% stainless steel. A dry, fruit-driven sparkling wine made in the Traditional Method.

Winemaker's Notes
Delicate mousse, pale lemon in colour. Clean, vibrant and bursting with lemon, green apples and freshly cut grass on the nose. Excellent depth of flavour with tantalising acidity and length on the palate. This wine shows balance and gives way to citrus and toast flavours.

Winemaker's Notes
Clear, pale lemon / light straw in colour. A heady nose of elderflower with an abundance of citrus, guava and blackcurrant leaf. A fresh and zesty wine, with a balanced, rounded body. Crisp acidity adds excellent structure to the palate and lifts the light tropical and citrus character. Perfect with seafood.

Lyme Bay Pinot Noir
Origin: England
A beautiful, long, hot summer in 2020 enabled the grapes to fully ripen on the vine, resulting in the intensity of flavour and body. Harvested between 3rd – 20th October 2020 from Dijon and Spätburgunder still wine clones only, each clone from each identified vineyard underwent its own specific protocol.
Vinification
Small batch fermentations were undertaken with manual pigéage (punch downs) to gently maximise colour, flavour, and structure extraction. The wine was then transferred to barrel for 100% malolactic fermentation and ageing. 30% new French oak was used as well as experimental American and Eastern European oak. Aged for nine months in barrel, the batches were then blended and left to settle for two weeks before bottling. The wine has no fining or filtration to retain the delicate nuances of the fruit and oak. It demonstrates a forward primary fruit character synonymous with young vines that will develop in intensity and potential even further with time.

Winemaker's Notes
Black Cherry with lighter edge tones. Intense, red fruit combines with smoky, vanilla oak and mild tobacco overtones. Red stone fruit notes of cherry & plum blend blackcurrant, strawberry & toasty oak to give a rich, but balanced weight on the palate and a mouth-watering finish that lingers and evolves.
