The 2024 Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir is an elegant cool-climate red from the Adelaide Hills, crafted from estate-grown fruit and matured in French oak to enhance complexity and finesse. It reflects a modern Australian Pinot Noir style that balances vibrant fruit with savoury depth. The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing wild strawberry, red cherry and dark cherry, layered with hints of forest floor, bay leaf and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, seamless texture. Juicy red fruit is complemented by earthy, herbal and lightly gamey notes, supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish. The style is refined and food-friendly, focusing on balance, perfume and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir for customers seeking a fresh yet complex, Burgundy-inspired style. Ideal for Pinot lovers who enjoy savoury, elegant reds. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with duck, mushroom dishes or roast poultry.
