The 2024 Troppo Pinot Noir is a bright, vibrant expression of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, crafted by Brendan and Laura Carter with a focus on purity, freshness and effortless drinkability. Made with minimal intervention and only a subtle influence of seasoned French oak, the wine captures the cool-climate character of the region while remaining approachable and full of energy. The nose is wonderfully expressive, revealing aromas of raspberry, black cherry and wild strawberry layered with porcini mushroom, blackberry bramble, Chinese five-spice and a touch of earthy spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively natural acidity and vibrant red berry fruit at its core. Juicy cherry, pomegranate and raspberry flavours are complemented by subtle savoury notes and a gentle earthy complexity, finishing fresh, elegant and beautifully balanced. Pure, juicy and highly drinkable, this is a modern Australian Pinot Noir that delivers impressive character while remaining wonderfully easy to enjoy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Troppo Pinot Noir is a fresh, fruit-driven Pinot that perfectly balances elegance with everyday drinkability. Pair it with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, roast chicken or soft cheeses. Enjoy now through 2030 for its vibrant fruit, silky texture and lively freshness.
