Pinot Noir Early

Kingsthorne

£25

This vintage was harvested from our Upton Bishop Vineyard. Despite the late start due to a cold spring, the relatively dry summer growing conditions provided good ripeness levels with high natural sugars and good colour in the grapes. An earlier ripening Pinot Noir enables us to get high levels of colour and flavour we need for our red wines. Traditional red wine making techniques were employed with skin contact fermentation for 10 days with regular pump-overs and extended oak barrique ageing for over 9 months. The wine has a aromas of cherry, oak and a hint of violet, following to the palate

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as KINGSTHORNE LIMITED, number 11191978. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
