About the wine
We've managed to snag a tiny parcel of Kieron's sumptuous English Pinot Noir
-
When Kieron dropped into Naked HQ recently, we thought we’d just be tasting the latest samples of his Bacchus. Little did we know he’d also sneak in a bottle of delicious English Pinot Noir that he’d cooked up using some of the best grapes he could find in the UK. Just one glance had us hooked.
-
It’s beautiful in the glass, almost jewel-like in terms of colour and clarity. And as soon as we tasted it, we knew we had to secure a share for Angels like you.

“This wine has great body and depth as we waited until the final safe moment to pick the fruit. Its invigorating acidity is allied with an incredible concentration and brightness of cranberry, pomegranate and hints of Morello cherry. The texture is silky and fresh with fine-grained tannins and impressive length on the palate. Notes of violet and earth compliment aromas of subtle oak spice from 9 months in used Seguin Moreau barrels.” Kieron, Winemaker

Meet the winemaker - Kieron Atkinson
-
Angels have been asking us to scout out more English winemakers for as long as we can remember. But we never expected to find one in Derbyshire of all places!
-
Kieron Atkinson has been quietly making award-winning English wines in Derbyshire for over a decade as chief winemaker at the historic Renishaw Hall, once thought to be the most northerly vineyard in the whole world. In 2011, he founded his very own English Wine Project to help raise the profile and quality of wines across the land. His aim is to put England on the map as a country that can produce wines that are up there with some of the best in the world.
-
Above all, he’s a really thoughtful, intelligent guy and the quality of his wines is superb. His winery is based in an old cotton mill in the Derwent Valley, in the middle of Derbyshire. But he also travels up and down the country as a consultant, helping other winemakers make their wines better too. It’s all part of his mission to champion the best of English wine. It’s so great to be working with an exciting new English winemaker like Kieron. And he’s so chuffed to be on board and is looking forward to hooking up with Angels.
