2023 Valley Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES

The Valley is a fruit-forward expression of our estate Pinot Noir, shaped by neutral oak to let the vineyard speak. Red cherry and rose petal drive the aromatics, unfolding into a supple palate of fine tannins and gentle weight. A distinctive cinnamon spice threads through the wine, a quiet marker of the vineyard soils. Light-bodied and silky, it finishes long, savoury and gently spiced.

Immediately appealing, the Valley Pinot moves seamlessly from relaxed drinking to the table, revealing further layers of spice and savoury nuance with time in the glass.

FOOD PAIRING

With its bright acidity and vibrant red fruit character, Pinot Noir is a natural match for richer poultry and seafood dishes. Think duck, roast chicken, grilled salmon or seared tuna.

For something a little unexpected, try it with pork or lamb. Pinot’s acidity and subtle savoury notes cut through fattier cuts with ease, making for a balanced and flavourful pairing.

For those seeking a vegetarian option, Pinot Noir loves earthy flavours. Mushrooms, truffles, roasted beets and lentil-based dishes all bring out the wine’s depth and complexity.
