Our Pinot Noir opens up with an enticing nose of lifted black cherry, plum, clove spice and oak aromas. On the palate is an array of red fruit flavours, five spice, clove and complex oak. A harmonious and balanced display between varietal fruit and tannins allows the palate to glide to a silky finish.

VARIETY & STYLE
Pinot Noir, originally from France’s Burgundy region, has become a cornerstone of Victoria’s wine industry, particularly within cool climate regions. The region’s cool-climate conditions and diverse terroirs allow this delicate grape to produce wines that are elegant, complex, and expressive of their environment. At Alpine Road, our winemaking team honours Pinot Noir’s French history and heritage, while creating a wine that reflects the distinctive characteristics of vineyards, we source the grapes from, offering a harmonious balance between tradition and regional expression.
THE VINTAGE
The 2023 vintage will go down as not only one of the latest on record, but also one of the most challenging in recent memory. A third La Niña event in a row made for a much cooler and wetter spring followed by a cool summer and autumn with small rain events that certainly kept us on our toes. Whilst the weather made for some stressful and busy periods, we were able to harvest everything at optimum ripeness.
