Simpsons Wine Estate 'Rabbit Hole' Pinot Noir 2024
Simpsons Wine Estate Rabbit Hole Pinot Noir is a rich, expressive English red wine crafted by Ruth and Charles Simpson in the sunny Elham Valley of Kent. Grown on the sheltered, south-facing chalk slopes of their Roman Road Vineyard, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir benefits from warm summer sunshine and free-draining limestone soils that mirror the great vineyards of northern France, allowing the Burgundian grape clones to ripen with wonderful natural depth. Ripe black cherries, wild raspberries, and crushed redcurrants lead the way on the nose and palate. Maturing the wine in fine French oak barrels weaves in a gentle layer of dark mocha, vanilla pod, and warm baking spice without ever overpowering the vibrant red berry fruit, wrapping the palate in smooth, velvety tannins and a long, savoury finish. Supple, aromatic, and full of charm, this is a standout bottle to bring to the weekend dinner table. Serve it alongside crispy roast duck breast with plum sauce, a classic Sunday roast chicken with all the trimmings, or pan-fried lamb cutlets with rosemary.
