The Copper Pot Pinot Noir was originally created for John Seccombe’s in-law’s hotel in the Midlands (Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse – well worth a visit) and was offered out in tiny quantities which did not last long. John has thankfully made more, in the same up-front, immediately-appealing-with-great-tension style.

Tasting notes:

This year’s vintage has a perfumed nose showing mulberries, humbugs, rosewater, and buchu. Tannins are fine while the palate is fresh with complex, balancing savoury notes of mace mixed with plums, redcurrants and dried figs. – John Seccombe
