Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir recognised again in UK Best of the Press

The 2024 Ad Hoc ‘Cruel Mistress’ Pinot Noir has been featured in the latest Hatch Mansfield Best of the Press round-up, following a review by Stuart Bond in Derbyshire Life.

The review highlights the wine’s savoury detail, bright fruit and soft texture, noting aromas of graphite, minerals and juicy black cherry, with spicy oak, fresh flavours of black cherry and earthy beetroot, leading to a soft, silky finish.

A suggested pairing of cod and olive tagine with brown rice speaks to the wine’s versatility and food-friendly style.

Part of the Ad Hoc range, Cruel Mistress is an expressive Pinot Noir with character and personality, bringing together fruit purity, savoury complexity and approachability.

This is another positive result for Ad Hoc and a strong mention for the range in the UK market.
