Josef Chromy Pepik Pinot Noir 2024 is a delightful, fruit-driven Tasmanian Pinot Noir crafted with everyday enjoyment in mind — 100% Pinot Noir, destemmed only, fermented in a combination of open-top and enclosed fermenters with a small amount of fruit undergoing carbonic maceration, and a portion matured in neutral oak for concentration and depth. Vibrant cherry red with raspberry beret highlights; lifted sweet berry fruits of raspberry and red mulberry with hints of complex spice and smoky undertones on the nose; a spicy, structured palate full of bright red cherries, little red corvettes, and raspberries with subtle juicy tannins and a lingering finish.
Appearance
Vibrant cherry red with raspberry beret highlights — the bright, inviting colour of a fruit-driven Tasmanian Pinot Noir crafted for early drinking, with the clarity and luminosity that gentle handling throughout fermentation and neutral oak maturation deliver.
Aroma
Lifted sweet berry fruits of raspberry and red mulberry with hints of complex spice and smoky undertones — the expressive, aromatic bouquet of a Pinot Noir fermented with carbonic maceration to ensure lifted aromatics and a fruit-driven style with moderate tannins.
Palate
A spicy, structured palate full of bright red cherries, little red corvettes, and raspberries — with subtle juicy tannins and a lingering finish. Gentle handling throughout fermentation ensures the bright fruit predominates, with the concentration and depth that neutral oak maturation adds without overwhelming the wine’s natural elegance.
Pairs With
Salmon, spicy tomato pastas, light red meats, slow-baked beetroots, and thin-base pepperoni pizza — the bright acidity, juicy tannins, and spicy red fruit make Pepik Pinot Noir a versatile and deeply enjoyable partner for the table. Drink now to 2028.
