2025 Mount Gambier Pinot Noir

$58.00

Tasting Notes
Transparent ruby in the glass. The nose shows red and black cherry, dark chocolate, lifted by blood orange, tarragon, and toasted fennel seed over a distinct limestone minerality. The palate is fresh and lively, with a silken entry, fine-grained oak, and a central drive of acidity. Chalky phenolics and a subtle bitter-orange edge give structure to the long, mineral finish.

Winemakers notes
The 2025 vintage in Mount Gambier was exceptionally dry, yet steady, cool temperatures allowed for extended hang-time and a later, riper pick. Harvested on March 13th at 14.5° Baumé, the Pinot Noir achieved beautiful generosity and complete maturity.
Fermented with 30% whole bunch for aromatic lift and fine structure, the wine was matured in French oak puncheons, featuring 25% new François Frères. From the original 2,500L pressed, an unforeseen winery disaster left only ~500L, making this release a rare survival of just 672 bottles.

To honour the journey and the hands that helped rebuild, each Pinot purchase comes accompanied by a copy of Noir - On Labor, Love, and Loss—a book created with the support of friends and family to document the story behind this vintage.
