Q Class 2025 Pinot Noir - Magnum

Description Simpsons’ Wine Estate is committed to maintaining an exceptional level of still wine production, always seeking to deliver beyond expectations. The Q Class wines are only produced in exceptional years, in order to showcase the Simpsons’ hallmark of quality, luxury and finesse - combining unique terroir with meticulous viticulture and wine-making expertise. This luxury pair of wines first came into fruition six years ago, spurred on by our “Best in Show” success at the Decanter World Wine Awards alongside being presented with the idyllic 2020 harvest conditions. We specially sourced an outstanding parcel of Pinot Noir on the Railway Hill Vineyard site, offering the perfect opportunity to push the boundaries of world class still wine production even further. The Simpsons’ Railway Hill Vineyard is so called because the Canterbury to Folkestone light railway passed through this site in the late 19th and first half of the 20th Century. The Q Class engines, which traversed this line, were powerful yet elegant, qualities that are exemplified in this wine. It was fortuitous that the 2025 growing season was blessed by a high level of sunshine and marked by a distinct lack of rainfall which resulted in beautifully ripe fruit flavours. The chalk-rich soils provided the vines with enough moisture to ensure a bountiful harvest and generosity in the resultant wines. With such high quality, we were inspired to create the third vintage of the Q Class wines. £100.00 per magnum bottle PRE-ORDER NOW FOR DISPATCH ON MONDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2026 Tasting Notes Aged in French oak barrels to enhance its velvety tannins, this jewel-hued Q Class Pinot Noir offers an evocative bouquet of Black Forrest fruits and hints of sandalwood and dustings of cocoa. The palate displays warm, savoury earthiness, with soft tannins and notes of ripe blackcurrant, Darjeeling tea and vanilla, leading to a generous finish. Technical Details Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir Alcohol: 13.5% Vol Reviews "I was one of the very first to try the Q Class and can vouch for their incredible flavour and complexity. The Pinot Noir felt like sinking into a soft pillow of cherries, plums and dusky rose petals."
