Profile
Light, bright and effortlessly drinkable. Juicy red cherry and raspberry glide over a fresh, supple palate with soft tannins and a gentle savoury lift. Chill it slightly and enjoy.
Fermentation
Handpicked and gently destemmed, then fermented slowly in French oak vats. A short time in oak, with 25 percent new, adds softness and shape. Everything was kept gentle to let the fruit shine.
Vineyards
Sourced from Gladysdale, planted to the MV6 clone on red volcanic soils. These sites are well suited to Pinot Noir and form the foundation of the wine’s bright, easygoing style.
Vintage
The 2025 season was warmer and even, allowing Pinot Noir to ripen smoothly while retaining freshness. The result is generous fruit with soft tannins and an easy, approachable feel.
Suggested Pairings
1/3
Croque Monsieur
Free-range leg ham and Comté, toasted until golden and melting, create a simple, savoury pairing that suits this fresh, easygoing Pinot perfectly.
Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 2026
All Gladysdale fruit, 10% whole bunches and 22% new oak. A very bright crimson purple. A fruit-driven and perfumed bouquet of red fruits, lifted florals and a hint of vanillin from the new oak. The palate is generous and balanced, finishing with silky tannins. A delicious wine that totally overdelivers. Drink now and over the next three to four years. – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion, 95 points.
