Winemaking

Made in a clean, fruit-forward style to keep Pinot’s red-fruit charm and fine tannins. As a no added preservative wine, it’s made without added sulphur dioxide, relying on careful handling and stable winemaking to keep everything fresh and vibrant.

Vineyard & Vintage

From organically grown fruit, crafted to highlight Pinot’s bright red-fruit personality and savoury nuance. The goal is drinkability: freshness, clarity and a finish that keeps you reaching for food.

Why We Love It

Because it’s the kind of Pinot that works for lots of palates: fruit-bright, silky, and not too heavy. The no added preservative style also keeps it feeling extra clean and vibrant.

Food Pairing

Pinot Noir loves earthy flavours and gentle richness: mushrooms, roast chicken, salmon, duck, and veggie dishes with herbs. It’s also a gorgeous Cheese Board Match—especially with brie, camembert or a nutty hard cheese.
