Five Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir 2024 is the inaugural estate Pinot Noir from Five Vineyard — ethereal and aromatic, single vineyard, hand harvested, and grown in the Plenty Region. Notes of cherry, rhubarb, and pomegranate layered over a satisfying autumnal earthiness, with hints of spice, dried herbs, and tea leaf adding savoury lift. Silky and expressive on the palate, finishing with lingering grace. 93 Points, Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot. 14% ABV.
Appearance
Translucent ruby with the delicate clarity of a single vineyard, hand-harvested cool-climate Pinot Noir — the luminous, ethereal colour of an inaugural estate release from the Plenty Region that delivers character, style, and structure from the very first vintage.
Aroma
Ethereal and aromatic — cherry, rhubarb, and pomegranate layered over a satisfying autumnal earthiness, with hints of spice, dried herbs, and tea leaf adding savoury lift. A slightly liquoricey character with subtle brick-dust influence, and the expressive, layered bouquet of a cool-climate Pinot Noir grown with care and harvested by hand.
Palate
Silky and expressive — seamlessly structured, with fine integration of silky tannins and gentle oak. Velvety smooth with latent power extending to the finish, which lingers with grace and the savoury complexity of dried herbs, tea leaf, and autumnal earth. “A classy Pinot Noir from an excellent vintage, delivering character, style, and structure.” — Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot, 93 Points.
Pairs With
Roast duck, salmon, mushroom risotto, pinot-friendly charcuterie, and soft washed-rind cheeses — the silky tannins, cherry and rhubarb fruit, and savoury earthy finish make Five Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir a deeply satisfying and natural partner for the finest food at the table. Serve slightly cool.
