Sourced from the cool-climate vineyards of Tumbarumba, this elegant wine showcases the unique personality of Pinot Meunier beyond its traditional role in Champagne production. Translucent ruby in colour with delicate purple hues, it reveals vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with subtle floral notes of rose petals and violets.
Elegant and finely textured on the palate, the wine delivers bright red fruit flavours alongside hints of cranberry and pomegranate, supported by balanced acidity and a silky, refined mouthfeel. Subtle earthy nuances of forest floor, dried leaves and minerality reflect the influence of the Tumbarumba terroir, adding complexity and depth to the wine’s delicate fruit profile. Versatile and food-friendly, this Pinot Meunier pairs beautifully with duck, roasted game birds, mushroom dishes and truffle-inspired cuisine, offering a nuanced and memorable wine experience to enjoy now or over the short term.
93 Halliday Wine Companion, Toni Paterson
"This pale-coloured, light-framed pinot meunier offers fabulously vibrant flavours nestled within a soft, bright, lemony palate. Accents of redcurrant, cranberry and sour cherry mingle with a touch of rhubarb, pimento and sage. It benefits from plenty of air to expand the mid-palate and elevate the aromas. Pair with tuna niçoise or salmon belly sashimi for maximum delight."
