2025 10X Pinot Noir
2025 10X Pinot Noir
Ruby red shades, earthy undertones and spice are beautifully intertwined with bursts of sweet perfume, providing a wonderful welcome to this wine. On the palate, it begins with raspberry and leathery notes that gracefully move towards a darker spectrum of black cherry as the wine glides and lingers. Tannins are fine and resolved, giving structure and depth, but it is the intense fruit profile that champions this wine, delivering on all levels from start to finish.

Other Notes
The 2025 vintage was magnificent. Moderate warm days, cool nights and dry conditions throughout the summer and autumn provided ideal ripening conditions. Healthy and balanced canopies across all sites produced wonderful flavours and acidity and excellent fruit quality.
