The Great British Vineyards Guide

Our third Lady Elizabeth vintage is the 2016, released to the open market in January 2020. As with all our wines, the grapes were carefully selected hand-harvested fruit but in 2016 they came from a reduced yield following a difficult year with tough growing conditions. After a couple of spring frosts we had a very poor July and August but then some stunning September and October days. With the vines carrying less fruit, what berries there were ripened beautifully and we had a dry harvest with lovely clean fruit.

An attractive pale salmon colour with a soft, fine mousse. Tangy, tangerine fruit on the front palate, and really pronounced Pinot Noir character on the finish.
