Appearance: Vibrant ruby red.

Aroma: Strawberries, plum,spice, zesty vibrant fruits and a delicious earthiness.

Palate: On the palate there is a subtle savouriness that sits alongside mid-palate fruit sweetness. The tannins are silky and fine - an impeccable value Great Southern Pinot Noir.

Machine harvested, destemmed, closed fermentation, with two gentle extractions per day (cap minimally worked), pressed at dryness, matured for 7 months in a combination of stainless steel tanks with French oak staves and older French oak barrels, prior to blending, light fining, and bottling.

- Mike Garland, Chief Winemaker

The Great Southern winter preceding the 2025 grower season was dryer than average and the growing season again significantly warmer than average for the second vintage in a row. The start of picking was early by about 4 weeks and condensed. Canopy management and judicial use of irrigation was important to manage fruit exposure and canopy health. Yields were average to slightly above average, the fruit clean, and with good concentration of flavour. High natural acid retention at sugar & flavour ripeness augers well for quality.
