Pipers River Pinot Noir

Rich dark/red cherry layers and savoury five-spice intermingle with playful violet and cranberry notes. Dark berry fruits give way to bright fresh strawberry as the lifted elegance of the palate draws you into a lingering finish accented by fine tannin.

A warm, dry season, following a run of La Niña years, saw crop levels return to the norm in ‘24. Fruit from the Pipers River Home Vineyard, were
hand-picked, with 15% whole-bunch inclusion.
The fermenter saw a cold soak, with gentle extraction through ferment, prior to pressing off skins. Ten
months in French oak, predominantly puncheon (one-third new).
