Elegant. Refined. Unmistakably English, but so close to a Burgundian Pinot you can almost taste it!
Crafted from a single, meticulously managed vineyard in Kent, Signature Pinot Noir 2022 is a testament to what’s possible in a standout English vintage. A blend of 91% Clone 828 and 9% Clone 777, hand-picked and aged in fine French oak, this wine is all about finesse, purity, and quiet confidence.
Expect lifted aromas of cherry and cranberry, layered with rose petal and subtle oak spice. The palate is elegant yet structured, revealing red berry fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a long, mineral finish.
Fermented with a classic Burgundian yeast and aged for nine months in Fontainbleau and Allier oak, the wine was then bottled under DIAM 5 cork and cellared for 18 months to ensure harmony and ageing potential.
Cherry, cranberry and rose with a touch of spice and forest floor. Supple and detailed, red berry fruit, fine tannins, and a clear mineral thread running through. Elegant, precise and unmistakably Pinot.
Balfour Winery is not certified as organic, but it is a founding member of the Sustainable Wines of Great Britain (SWGB) certification scheme.
While organic certification specifically prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, the SWGB scheme focuses on a broader range of environmental objectives in both the vineyard and the winery.
SWGB Sustainability Practices:
Balfour Winery is deeply committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, adhering to the exacting standards of the SWGB scheme, covering soil health, the reduction and optimization of pesticide inputs, energy and water conservation, and carbon footprint reduction.
Rewilding and Biodiversity: The estate includes 400 acres of vineyards, apple orchards, wildflower meadows, and ancient oak woodlands. Balfour has dedicated swathes of land to rewilding projects to support local flora and fauna.
Vegan: All Balfour wines are 100% vegan, meaning no animal products were used in the production process. They use cold settling instead of fining agents like egg white or gelatin to clarify the wine.
