Pinot Précoce, Flint, Norfolk, 2023, 75cl

Best-selling author, wine writer and broadcaster Helen McGinn, aka @knackeredmother, has curated a hand-picked selection her favourite bottles from our very own cellars, and this delightful bottle is included.

“When Fortnum’s asked if I’d like to collaborate on some wine selections I wondered if I might be dreaming. Seriously – I’ve loved the Fortnum’s wine shop for years, often finding an excuse to wander the aisles in the name of research. A real hidden gem, the choice of wines is surprisingly eclectic.”

Why Helen loves this bottle…

“The vineyard where this wine is from sits on flinty soil in Norfolk, hence the name Flint Vineyards. This is a winery started by a couple called Ben and Hannah Witchell about 10 years ago. Ben worked a few vintages in Bougenel and I think that really shows in his wines because this one here is like Bougenel - really light, fresh and juicy.”
