NEW WINE RELEASE

2025 SCOTCHMANS HILL PINOT NOIR RELEASE "A vintage like 2025 doesn't come around every year, and it's probably the best we've done since 2017... in the top 10% of the best Pinot we've ever made".
- Chief Winemaker Robin Brockett

The beautifully crafted 2025 Scotchmans Hill Pinot Noir is a remarkable expression of the vintage and one not to be missed, already earning high praise from our winemaking team, including Chief Winemaker Robin Brockett.

For nearly 40 years, Pinot Noir has been at the core of our story, and this latest release is a shining example of our passion and progress.

"It's a real reflection of what the year offered, and it's probably in the top 10% of the best Pinot we've ever made. It has just come together beautifully and we're extremely excited at the Winery to talk about the quality of this wine". - Chief Winemaker Robin Brockett

Complex, energetic, and made even more intriguing by the subtle sappiness from whole bunch fermentation, a wine that drinks beautifully when young yet is very rewarding with age over the next 5 to 10 years.
