Pinot Noir Gin

Pinot Noir Gin - A luxury limited edition luxury gin

Introducing Pinot Noir Gin from Secret Garden Distillery, a premium spirit that combines the rich, complex flavours of a Pinot Noir wine with the botanicals of our signature gin. Sustainably crafted with a focus on quality and the environment, Pinot Noir Gin is a perfect choice for those who appreciate premium, eco-conscious spirits.  

A truly unique gin for a wine-lover looking for something different or for a gin lover that loves wine. We grow Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes in the Distillery’s glasshouse. These grape varieties are traditionally associated with the Champagne region, and create some of the most beautiful wines. We think we have created a truly outstanding gin that combines the best of our gin with our grape harvest creating a luxurious and distinctive gin experience.

Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes were harvested by hand in 2023 and then left to soak in our base gin of Juniper, Coriander, Angelica Root and Winter Savory. It has been racked and settled then filtered several times before bottling, with all the colour and flavour coming from the grape jus. The delicate pink colour of the gin this year needed no extra petal infusions it was perfection just as nature intended. Pinot Noir grapes have a lower skin anthocyanin (coloring matter) content than most other classical red/black varieties. The delicate sweetness of the wine grapes complements the crisp juniper and herbal botanicals, resulting in a smooth, flavourful gin that’s perfect for sipping or mixing into sophisticated cocktails.

This year again we've decided it tastes best at 46% ABV. The team all agree - this is even better than last year.

And remember - there are no added sugars, artificial colourings, flavourings or additives….just nature distilled.

We are very proud of our Pinot Noir gin which can only be bought direct from us - so we'd love to hear from you and see if you like it as much as we do. Let us know!
