The 2024 Silkman Estate Shiraz Pinot Noir is a lighter-bodied red blend that combines the bright red fruit character of Pinot Noir with the spice and depth of Shiraz. The nose is fragrant and lifted, showing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry layered with subtle spice, soft earthiness and gentle floral notes. The combination creates a fresh and approachable aromatic profile with plenty of vibrancy.
On the palate, it is smooth and medium-bodied with soft tannins and bright acidity giving the wine energy and balance. Juicy red berry flavours sit alongside hints of plum, pepper spice and subtle savoury notes, while the finish remains clean, supple and easy-drinking. The wine’s lighter structure and freshness make it highly versatile across a range of occasions and food styles.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers who enjoy softer, fruit-driven red wines with freshness and approachability rather than heavy extraction or firm tannin. A versatile red suited to casual dining, lighter meat dishes or serving slightly chilled in warmer weather. Pairs particularly well with roast pork, chargrilled chicken, mushroom dishes or wood-fired pizza. Best enjoyed young over the next 3–5 years while its vibrant fruit remains at its peak.
