About the wine
An elegant and supple wine that shows remarkable power, intensity and length on the palate. Framed by ripe, moderate tannin the graceful strawberry fruit is complemented but not dominated by spice. The wine demonstrates a wonderful poise and balance with remarkable length of flavour as all great Pinot Noirs should.

96 Points Sam Kim – Wine Orbit 2024 – “Stylish and refined, the wine shows dark cherry, rich floral, olive, warm mushroom and toasted almond notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate displaying finely flowing mouthfeel combined with silky texture and beautifully melded tannins. Wonderfully composed and harmonious with a lengthy seamless finish. At its best: now to 2037.”
96 Points Houn Hooke – The Real Review 2024 – “Somewhat forward developed, with the first aromas smoky charcoal/grilled meats, and in the mouth, sweet succulent ripe cherry fruit aplenty, completed by soft tannins. Delicious! (Best in Show award, 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards)
95 Points Aaron Brasher – The Real Review 2024 – “Lovely colour, bright, youthful and lively. Complex aromas of bramble, cherry, raspberry, spice, clovey oak and a lifted, whole-bunchy edge. There’s a core of wildness: red berries, spice and bushy, briary characters driving the flavours, along with sap and earth. The tannins have appealing presence and the acidity provides cut and snap. A lovely pinot noir”
94 Points Halliday Rating – Dave Brookes 2023 – “The Derwent and Coal River valleys provide the fruit source for this year’s release, which shows bright, lively wild strawberry, raspberry and dark cherry fruit tones with hints of exotic spice, sous bois, shiitake broth, roasting game and earth. Impressive fruit intensity on the palate, plenty of minerally drive and gentle chalky tannins that show more muscle as the wine fades away, pure of fruit and long.”
