Tasting Notes

Appearance

Medium ruby red with vibrant crimson hues and excellent clarity, displaying the characteristic colour profile of cool-climate Gippsland Pinot Noir. The wine's translucent edges and bright core reflect its youthful energy and careful winemaking, whilst the depth of colour suggests concentrated fruit and fine structure.

Aroma

The bouquet opens with enticing aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by subtle notes of forest floor, dried herbs and a hint of spice. Underlying earthy complexity adds intrigue, whilst delicate floral notes and a touch of oak-derived vanilla provide additional layers to this expressive nose.

Palate

Medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, the palate delivers concentrated dark fruit flavours—black cherry, plum and cranberry—balanced beautifully with savoury elements of mushroom, undergrowth and subtle pepper. The wine's fine-grained texture and regional character shine through, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering fruit and earthy complexity that epitomises quality Gippsland Pinot Noir.

Pairs With

This versatile Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, aged Gruyère or Comté cheese, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder, whilst its savoury character also complements charcuterie boards and truffle-infused dishes.
