2023 Swinging Bridge M.A.W Pinot Noir - Swinging Bridge M.A.W Pinot Noir 2023 is an elegant Australian red from the cool‑climate vineyards of Orange. This wine showcases the bright and refined character typical of Orange Pinot Noir, with lifted aromas of red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate it is medium‑bodied with fine, silky tannins, lively acidity, and a vibrant core of red fruit flavors, balanced by hints of herbal nuance and subtle oak influence. The finish is long and expressive, making it a versatile pairing with roasted poultry, salmon, mushroom dishes, and mild cheeses.
Redcurrants, raspberry straps, wild strawberries and pine. Pink salt, tulip and strawberry leaf. Dried rosemary and thyme. A quiet wine on tasting, needing some time in the bottle to incorporate. All the stuffing of delicate red florals and alpine berries. - 93 points, Shanteh Wale
