Frequently asked about Tinwood Blanc de Noir

What is a Blanc de Noir?

A white sparkling wine made from red grapes. Tinwood presses Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier gently so the juice runs clear rather than picking up skin colour.

Is Tinwood Blanc de Noir always available?

No. Tinwood makes it as a limited edition in selected years only, so availability moves with the vintage.

What does Tinwood Blanc de Noir taste like?

Delicate hints of toasty biscuit and blackcurrant with an appealing richness and balanced acidity, fuller than the estate's Brut or Blanc de Blancs.
