🍷 Discover the Enchantment of the Heartbreak Grape 🍷
Pinot Noir wine is the most highly prized wine in the world. Called "the noble grape" in France, for good reason as it has been coveted by kings and commoners in large part for its magical abilities with food. If you are ever ordering wine at a restuarant for a large crowd of people, Pinot Noir is a safe bet as it is most likely to compliment most people's meals!
Colloquillay known as the "heartbreak grape", it is a much riskier investment for both growers and winemakers than other wine varietals. The grape clusters are usually small and difficult to ripen evenly, the skins are thin and there is a propensity to suffer a variety of diseases!
That risk is one of the reasons it is highly sought after (and can be expensive). Andre Tchelistcheff, one of America’s most influential winemakers declared that “God made Cabernet Sauvignon whereas the devil made Pinot Noir.”
Having said that, however, we believe this varietal to be quite heavenly!
2020 Sunny with a Chance of Flowers Pinot Noir (Zero Sugar and Low Cal)

Sunny with a Chance of Flowers is a healthy lifestyle wine created to make you feel good inside and out. Zero sugar, low calorie, low alcohol and flat-out delicious, it seems too good to be true. But Sunny is the real deal – better for you and mindfully made. Sustainably farmed and produced by a family-owned winery in Monterey County, California.
Tasting Notes
Sunny Pinot Noir is a riveting red wine full of juicy berry flavours and pure joy. Sweet black cherries kick off the palate, followed by luscious pomegranate and a hint of toasted oak.
Winemaking
Winemaker Casey Di Cesare likes to say that flavours are made in the vineyard. That’s why our grapes are left to hang on the vine to reach full maturity and flavor development before harvesting. Upon arrival at our estate winery, the grapes are crushed and fermented to dryness, resulting in zero residual sugar. Using proprietary technology, the alcohol is gently pulled from a portion of the wine. The result? A mindfully made wine that is zero sugar, 9% alcohol and 85 calories per serving (about 30% fewer calories than an average serving).

2023 Biscardo Prosecco DOC, Spumante Millesimato Rosé
Regular price £13.49 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%
A deliciously elegant, smooth prosecco to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime!
Tasting Notes
Salmon pink with a fine and persistent perlage. Intense and aromatic on the nose with hints of red currant, wild strawberry and rose petal. This is elegant, smooth and velvety on the palate with a harmonious dry finish.

Production
All of the grapes come from within the DOC Veneto region. The cultivation density is around 3,500 to 4,000 vines per hectare and grown simple or double espalier. Only traditional pruning methods are carried out. The annual yield is about 100 tons. The Pinot Nero is mostly planted in the extreme eastern part of the Verona province, where it is most suited to the climate and soil conditions to express itself to its full potential.
Harvest is carried out by hand and in order to avoid any skin or acetic fermentation, the grapes are immediately carried to the vinification cellar during the first few hours of the day. Destalking and soft pressing at controlled temperature then the must is kept in small stainless-steel tanks until fermentation is completed. The blend of the two varieties is made before the refermentation process, to increase the intensity of the aroma. Fermentation is partially interrupted trough the cold-process, and transferred into small stainless-steel tanks. Around 4 months after vinification, re-fermentation is allowed following the typical procedure used for spumante (in autoclaves that keep up to 6 atmospheres of pressure).
Producer
The Biscardo Family have been making wine from their base in Soave for over 150 years and are currently led by brothers Maurizio and Martino.
During the course of Maurizio's long and illustrious career, he has consulted for well known wineries around Italy and in doing so he came across the vineyards for their Puglian wines. Both the Pugliese and Veneto wines are characterised by an irresistible drinkability, aromatic purity and exceptional value for money.

This Pinot Noir reveals a bright nose of fresh cherries and raspberry jelly.
Palate
On the palate, there's dark cherry flavours with a lick of oak.
Production
Our Pinot Noir came from 2 vineyards - 87% Rapaura Gravels and 13% Omaka Valley clay soils which included a number of clones, 667,777,115, Abel and Clone 5. Both vineyards were pruned to 2 cane VSP and yields were naturally around the 7T/Ha mark. After green thinning on the vine the fruit was harvested over a period of 10 days from late March through to early April. Each parcel was kept separate and fermented in small open-top tanks and hand plunged up to 4 times daily. Post pressing, wine was sent to a mixture of stainless steel and French oak for Malo and ageing.
