Description

This is West Cape Howe’s easygoing Pinot, pulling fruit from a few different vineyards across Great Southern to get the right mix of brightness, flavour and a bit of structure. The region’s cool climate means the grapes ripen slowly, so you get plenty of lift and freshness without losing flavour.

The 2024 had mostly destemmed fruit, with a few whole bunches in the mix for extra spice. Fermented gently and aged in older French oak, it’s all about keeping the fruit front and centre.

What you end up with is a juicy, red-fruited Pinot that’s soft enough to drink on its own but still has that savoury edge to work well with food. It’s honest, well-made and really good value – the sort of bottle you can open midweek without thinking twice.

Punching well above its weight this Pinot Noir is a cracker.

2024 was brutally hot and dry, it was also the earliest vintage on record. Even with the fruit all coming from the cooler sites on our Mt Barker Vineyards being so dry there was no disease pressure allowing the fruit to ripen and give more of that plush end of the spectrum we love with good structure and a great tannin profile.

COLOUR
A bright and luscious looking ruby red.

AROMA
Strawberry and cherries give way to sweet thyme, rosemary and hints of fennel, cedar and red liquorice. The lovely smell of new leather shoes.

PALATE
Silky, rich dark fruits, wine gums, star anise and hints of sarsaparilla give us a medium weight nicely balanced by a soft drying tannin structure supporting the lush mulberry finish.

CELLARING POTENTIAL
A crowd pleaser for sure - delicious now or cellar for a couple of years for that extra little bit of pizazz.

Smoked Beef Ribs & BBQ lamb.
