🍷 Appearance
Light ruby red with bright crimson hues. Clear and vibrant in the glass, displaying the elegant colour and delicacy expected from cool-climate Pinot Noir.

👃 Aromas
Fragrant and expressive, with wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry complemented by subtle floral notes, dried herbs and gentle spice. Savoury nuances and understated French oak add complexity.

👅 Palate
Elegant and finely structured, showing juicy red cherry, strawberry and cranberry fruit. Bright acidity provides freshness, while subtle spice, savoury complexity and well-integrated oak give the palate additional depth.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Light to medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins and an appealing supple texture. The finish is fresh and persistent, leaving lingering red fruits, spice and delicate savoury notes.

🍇 Overall Style
An elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir from the Patterson Vineyard at Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern region. The vineyard’s Pinot Noir vines date back to 1982, providing mature-vine fruit for a wine combining fragrance, delicacy and savoury complexity.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, roast chicken or pork. Its freshness and savoury character also make it a great partner for charcuterie and soft cheeses.

⭐ BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced Great Southern Pinot Noir with attractive red fruits, silky tannins and plenty of cool-climate elegance. Fragrant, savoury and wonderfully food-friendly, with the added appeal of being vegan-friendly. A stylish Pinot Noir that offers both immediate drinking pleasure and genuine character.
