Cabernet Noir is one of the most unique and rare varieties grown in the UK. Officially known as Cabaret Noir, this is a disease-resistant, Swiss-bred hybrid grape (Cabernet Sauvignon x unknown partner) developed by Valentin Blattner.

Grapes were sourced from Redhill Vineyard in Kent, one of the very few plantings of this grape variety in the UK. Bottled by hand in 2020, the wine has been cellar-aged for more than five years before release. During its extended bottle ageing, the wine has developed complex, spicy notes of clove, dried violet, bramble, and cured meat, reminiscent of mature Loire Cabernet Franc or Northern Rhône Syrah. On the palate, it is complex and layered, with a generous, fleshy body — unusual for English red wine.

100% destemmed before being pressed and fermented in a single stainless-steel tank. Once fermented, the wine was aged in 3rd-use French oak barrels for 9 months. Bottled by hand in 2020 and released in late 2025.

Very 'autumnal' in character, it pairs well with mushroom-based preparations, game or mature hard cheese.
