It's an easy wine to enjoy, whether you're discovering Pinot Noir or looking for something versatile to share over dinner.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Bright red.
Aroma: Fresh raspberry and mulberry, with inviting red berry aromas.
Palate: Juicy cherry and berry flavours, fine tannins and refreshing acidity, with a subtle touch of oak.
Finish: Fresh and smooth, with lingering berry fruit.
Food Pairing
This Pinot Noir is a wonderfully versatile match for food. Try it with roast chicken and mushrooms, pan-fried salmon, mushroom risotto or a simple pasta dish. Its gentle tannins and freshness also make it a great choice with chilli mussels.
Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, to bring out its bright fruit character.
Cellaring
Delicious to enjoy now, with the potential to develop over the next 3–5 years from the 2024 vintage. Keep a few bottles somewhere cool and dark if you'd like to see how the wine evolves.
Winemaking
Derwent Estate takes a thoughtful, small-batch approach to this Pinot Noir, using a combination of whole-bunch and destemmed fruit to build flavour and texture. Gentle handling and maturation in older oak barrels help preserve its fresh berry character while adding subtle complexity.
