Red Claw Pinot Noir 2024

Red Claw Pinot Noir is a vibrant and expressive wine, crafted from hand-harvested fruit from the cool, maritime climate of the Mornington Peninsula. The vintage showcases an alluring perfume of dark cherries, strawberries, and rose petals, with subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. The palate is elegant yet generous, delivering layers of red and dark berry fruits, a hint of dried herbs, and a fine thread of minerality. Soft, silky tannins and refreshing acidity drive the wine to a long, poised finish, making it a deliciously approachable Pinot Noir with depth and character.

The 2023 growing season benefited from mild, even conditions, which allowed the fruit to ripen steadily, preserving freshness and acidity while concentrating flavours. The grapes were fermented with 20% whole bunches to add structure and complexity, followed by maturation in French oak barriques for 9 months to add subtle oak influence and round out the wine's texture.
