The 2024 Coulter Pinot Noir is an elegant Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir crafted by Chris Coulter from two cool-climate single vineyards in Ironbank and Kenton Valley. Produced using a minimal-intervention approach, the wine showcases the purity and finesse of the region. The bouquet is fragrant and expressive, offering aromas of red cherry, raspberry and cranberry, layered with subtle sous bois, whole-bunch spice and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Bright flavours of red cherry, wild strawberry and sour plum are complemented by earthy undertones, gentle baking spice and a savoury edge, leading to a long, refined finish. The inclusion of whole bunches adds aromatic lift and structure, while careful French oak maturation enhances complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The wine has been awarded 92 points by Campbell Mattinson, 92 points by Mike Bennie, and a Gold Medal (95 points) at the 2025 Adelaide Hills Wine Show.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy cool-climate Pinot Noir with vibrant red fruit, savoury complexity and a silky, elegant finish. Pair it with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or herb-roasted chicken. Enjoy it now after a short decant, or cellar for 6–8 yearsto allow its earthy and spicy nuances to develop further.
