Lyme Bay's 2020 Martin's Lane Pinot Noir is a brilliant example of just how far English red wines have come. There’s classic cool-climate Pinot character here: bright red cherries, wild strawberries, a little cranberry crunch, and just a hint of earthy spice. The palate is silky and pure, with fine tannins and a gentle touch of oak that gives it structure without overshadowing the fruit. It’s got enough depth to pair beautifully with food (think duck, roast chicken, or grilled salmon), but it’s also just a joy to sip and savour on its own. Lyme Bay Winery in Devon is at the forefront of English still wine production, sourcing fruit from top vineyard sites in warmer counties like Essex and Kent.
