The 2023 Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir is an elegant cool-climate red from the Adelaide Hills, crafted from hand-picked estate 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 strawberry, red cherry and cranberry, layered with hints of rose petal, bay leaf and forest floor.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, seamless texture. Bright red fruit is complemented by subtle earthy, mushroom and spice notes, supported by fine, delicate tannins and fresh acidity, leading to a long, refined finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir for customers seeking a lighter, more elegant red with complexity and finesse. It’s perfect for Pinot lovers who enjoy savoury, food-friendly styles. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years. Ideal with duck, mushroom dishes or roast poultry.
