Tasting Notes for Mt Bera Wild & Free Pinot Noir 2020 

Region: Adelaide Hills, SA
Style: Wild-fermented, expressive Australian Pinot Noir
Drink Window: 2023–2026

Appearance:
Bright crimson-garnet in the glass, with a translucent core that hints at elegance and restraint.

Nose:
A wild, untamed bouquet—think forest floor after rain. Earthy mushroom and bramble notes mingle with hints of leather, dry herbs, and warm spice. There’s a touch of animal musk that adds intrigue, appealing to lovers of the more rustic, Burgundian end of the Pinot spectrum.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with supple tannins and a savoury edge. Raspberries and warm earth dominate, supported by cloves and subtle spice. The texture is silky yet grounded, with a better-than-medium length that suggests quiet confidence rather than flamboyance.

Finish:
Lingering notes of dried herbs and soft red fruit taper into a gentle, earthy fade. Best enjoyed with a bit of air and contemplation.

Cellaring:
It will evolve beautifully over the next 2–3 years, gaining further complexity and depth.
