Tasting Notes

Critic Score:

  • 97 – Huon Hooke
  • 94 – Campbell Mattinson

This micro-allocation showcases the exceptional synergy between boutique viticulture and the elevated terroirs of South Australia. Sourced from the cool heights of the Piccadilly Valley, the 2025 vintage highlights a meticulous approach resulting in a premium, screw-cap sealed expression with a balanced 14% ABV. Visually, the wine presents a remarkably bright and youthful purple hue of medium depth.

The aromatics are ultra-fresh, revealing vibrant red cherry and raspberry fruit seamlessly laced with a hint of violet and lingering banana esters.

On the palate, it delivers impressive intensity and concentration while remaining beautifully light on its feet.

The structure shows impeccable harmony, combining a svelte, elegant frame with tremendous penetrating flavour and prodigious length. Leading the critical praise, legendary Australian wine critic Huon Hooke awards the vintage a magnificent 97 points, describing it as "a really elegant pinot noir with tremendous penetrating flavour and prodigious palate length."
