The 2024 Save Our Souls Pinot Noir is a vibrant and beautifully pure Yarra Valley Pinot Noir crafted by acclaimed winemakers Jason Searle and William Downie. Sourced from three MV6 Pinot Noir vineyard sites across some of the Yarra Valley’s finest sub-regions, the wine reflects SOS’s philosophy of minimal intervention, freshness and drinkability. The cool 2024 vintage delivered exceptional aromatic lift, bright acidity and elegant structure, resulting in a Pinot Noir that is both immediately appealing and distinctly regional. Halliday awarded the wine 93 points, praising its purity and balance.
The nose reveals crushed strawberry, red cherry and bright floral notes layered with subtle spice, raspberry and poached plum. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky texture, vibrant acidity and finely woven tannins. Layers of cranberry, sour cherry and gentle savoury spice unfold with freshness and energy, while subtle oak influence adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, juicy and beautifully balanced with classic cool-climate Yarra Valley elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Save Our Souls Pinot Noir is a polished and seriously drinkable Yarra Valley Pinot Noir - fresh, silky and packed with bright red fruit, savoury detail and cool-climate finesse. Perfect with duck, mushroom risotto, roast chicken, grilled salmon, charcuterie or soft cheeses. Best served lightly chilled and enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years.
