New Hall, Barons Red, 2018, England

New Hall in Chelmsford, Essex make a lot of wine. This red is a blend Pinot Noir, Acolon and Rhondo grapes. It’s a reasonably simple wine, dry with red fruit aromas and sour cherry flavour with an oak under note.

For an English red wine this is very good, easy drinking with decent flavour and £11 a bottle. Sure go to £25 a bottle and you can get Gusbournes Pinot Noir which is excellent but this is much easier on the pocket and very good.
