This Pinot is light and see-through in the glass — but don’t be fooled. There’s surprising fruit weight and extraction here for such a delicate-looking wine. Nose is full of charm. Candied strawberry, pomegranate, violet, dried cranberry, a touch of blackcurrant leaf. Palate is smooth and supple. Velvety tannins just glide. No grip to speak of. Fruit leans a little into the cooked end, but there’s still structure there. Nicely put together. Very drinkable. L&S (Sept 2025)

DELIVERY SERVICE
We offer free nationwide delivery on all orders over £150 (excluding Highlands & Islands). Express Delivery options also available.The 2024 vintage feels like it was approximately one second ago, but perhaps time goes faster as I get older. Here we have the 2024 Peninsula Pinot Noir that leads with cherry and star anise, raspberry and red licorice, strawberry and tapenade. In the mouth, the wine has a smoky edge to it, coupled with the creamy flow of fruit and tannin. This is a lovely wine: joyful, straightforward, delicious. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Wines of Victoria 2025 6 case
When you think of Australian red wine, what comes to mind? Big, bold, sun-drenched Shiraz? It’s time to meet the new Australia. Right now, the cool-climate regions of Victoria are producing some of the most elegant, energetic, and exciting wines on the planet. This is modern Australia: nuanced, precise, and utterly delicious. To celebrate, we've curated a mixed case that serves as the perfect introduction, led by two of the movement's brightest stars. First, meet Joshua Cooper. Raised on his family's iconic Cobaw Ridge estate and trained in Burgundy, Josh is a low-intervention winemaker crafting wines of incredible purity and precision. His Shay’s Flat Cabernet is a world away from the blockbusters of old, showing a sophisticated, mineral-driven elegance with a touch of classic Aussie eucalyptus. Then there’s Jayden Ong, the ex-sommelier turned cult winemaker whose wines are, as critic Mike Bennie puts it, "on fire". Farming organically at high altitude, his wines are all about cool-climate energy. His ‘The Hermit’ Syrah is wonderfully 'Rhoney' and savoury, a sophisticated red that is simply charming and hard to resist. This case is your tasting tour of modern Victoria, featuring these brilliant producers alongside a classic Mornington Peninsula Pinot from Paringa Estate. It's a snapshot of the most dynamic wine scene in the southern hemisphere.
