First Impressions
Gyre & Gimble Pinot Noir Gin uses crushed Pinot Noir grapes from local Norfolk wineries — saving tonnes of waste from being discarded. IWSC Gold. In the glass, you would struggle to tell the difference between this and a light Pinot Noir wine.
Tasting
The nose shows jam and spices with cardamom and forest floor. On the palate, jam and soft fruits throughout — natural sweetness, gentle viscosity, smoothly textured. The finish is port-like with raisins.
The Bottom Line
Gyre & Gimble Pinot Noir earns an 8 for sustainability and innovation in one glass. The waste-reduction ethos is admirable, and the IWSC Gold confirms the liquid quality matches the concept. A gin for wine lovers and a wine for gin lovers.
