Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)

Each year we challenge ourselves to create a wine that’s elegant yet unpretentious – superbly put together with soft, silky tannins and wicked cellaring potential. The result? Our Estate Pinot Noir. Rich and complex, with ripe dark cherry on the lips.

Food Pairings

Pour alongside a decadent chocolate mousse, or roasted duck breast with a cherry reduction sauce. The wine's complex flavours and elegant structure will complement the richness of the duck while harmonizing with the fruity notes of the cherry sauce.

    Pinot noir from Tamar Ridge's Kayena and Rosevears vineyards (92/8%), partial whole bunches and nine months' maturation in French oak. Bright ruby with aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry. Hints of exotic spice, mountain herbs, roasting game, turned earth and pressed flowers. Energetic and pure fruited with a seam of minerality, plenty of drive, fine tannin support and a plume of spicy red fruits on the exit.

Cold-soaked for 5 days, 9% whole bunch fermentation, and 9 months in French oak..
