Churton Organic Pinot Noir 2020
' ''From site selection and biodynamic practices through to low intervention winemaking, the ultimate aim at Churton is to produce exceptional, terroir-driven wines. We produce organically certified wines that reflect the diversity of our individual blocks and produce wines that combine texture, complexity, flavour and length. All wines hail from our vineyard, Churton wines undergo a slow natural fermentation before resting on lees and spending time in bottle to develop layers of flavour and enhance integration before release. Each Churton cuvee is produced with minimal French oak influence while the Natural State range, created by Ben and Jack, has no oak influence and even less intervention. There are no additions to the Natural State Wines: we merely guide the fruit to bottle for enjoying in youth.'' '
