The 2025 Mezzo Pinot Noir is a vibrant cool-climate Pinot Noir sourced from carefully selected vineyards across South Australia's Limestone Coast. Crafted by winemakers Keeda Zilm and Luke Broadbent, the wine is made with a small whole-berry component to enhance aromatic lift before maturing for eight months in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned French oak. Produced without acidification and with minimal intervention, it highlights the purity and elegance of the region's renowned terra rossa soils. The nose is bright and expressive, offering aromas of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry layered with thyme, gentle spice and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively natural acidity and a fresh, juicy core of red berry fruit. Delicate spice and earthy complexity add depth, leading to a smooth, balanced finish that is both vibrant and highly drinkable. Elegant and approachable, this is a classic cool-climate Pinot Noir offering exceptional value.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Mezzo Pinot Noir is a versatile, food-friendly red that pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, charcuterie or herb-roasted chicken. Serve lightly chilled if preferred and enjoy now through 2029 while its bright fruit and freshness are at their best.
