Bright, expressive and finely balanced. Aromas of bramble fruit, spice and forest floor lead to a palate of fleshy blueberry and raspberry, framed by fresh acidity and fine, structural tannins. Concentrated yet beautifully approachable.

Season

2025 was the driest growing season on record in the Adelaide Hills. This led to slightly lower yields and a very early start to the vintage. We avoided severe heat waves, but it was our quintessential cool Adelaide Hills nights that allowed the fruit to develop beautiful flavour and hold onto its natural acidity.

Vinification

Harvested by hand and machine to include select whole-bunch parcels, this Pinot Noir was fermented by block and clone, mostly destemmed with a few whole-bunch ferments for lift. Basket pressed and matured eight months in seasoned French oak, it’s bright, pure and finely structured—true to its cool-climate home.

The 2024 season delivered a cool, even growing season according to the maker. The Pinot Noir of that season delivers a taste of the soil, of the land, of aromas filled in crushed herbs and leaf with cherry, cranberry and plum fruits. It’s got real red fruit intensity on the palate with spice, dusty cacao and anise joined by a distinctive savouriness best described as undergrowth, dusty beetroot and green leaf with crushed herbs. It’s quite a particular and lasting feature of the wine set against a background of chewy tannins. Calls for an accompaniment at the table, maybe mushroom risotto.
