Details
A quintessential cool-climate Pinot Noir that’s all poise and perfume. Aromas of red cherries, ripe raspberries, and a whisper of wild strawberry leap from the glass, joined by hints of dried herbs and a touch of forest floor. On the palate, it’s silky and seamless, with fine tannins and bright acidity that frame the fruit without overshadowing it. Subtle clove and a dash of white pepper adds intrigue, while a long, savoury finish keeps you coming back for more.

Winemaker, Erinn Klein and co-founder, Janet Klein took over their very own patch of the world-renowned Jurlique herb farm and started putting into practice all they had learnt studying all things wine at Adelaide University. The pair met there in 2000 while Erinn was studying oenology and Janet viticulture and winemaking. Let's just say, it was a match made in wine heaven, because several decades later they are pioneers in small-batch biodynamic winemaking! More than just eschewing chemicals and embracing the biodynamic farming model at their property near the Mt Barker Summit in the Adelaide Hills, Erinn and Janet are committed to the restoration and regeneration of the land's original flora and fauna. So far they have planted (or perhaps more accurately, replanted) thousands of native seedlings across their property!

Pairing guide
Pinot Noir is famously versatile, and this bottling is no exception. Start with duck - crispy-skinned, roasted to perfection, and served with a cherry glaze to mirror the wine’s juicy red fruit. If you’re feeling Italian, a wild mushroom tagliatelle is a knockout: the earthy flavours dance beautifully with Pinot’s herbal undertones. For something lighter, try a herb-crusted salmon or tuna steak - the wine’s acidity keeps the palate refreshed while complementing the richness of the fish. Veggie options? Roast beetroot salad with goat cheese and walnuts is a dream pairing. And for those who love a cheeseboard, reach for soft, earthy cheeses like brie or camembert. Pinot plus comfort food = happiness.

Wine region
Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills wine region, located in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges of South Australia is characterised by its high altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils, which all contribute to the unique terroir that produces elegant, complex, and expressive wines. The region's altitude ranges from 400 to 700 meters above sea level, creating a cooler climate than other wine regions in South Australia. The cool temperatures slow down the ripening process of the grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity, delicate aromatics, and elegant flavours. Top sub-regions are Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley, and Basket Range, each with unique microclimates and diverse soil types that produce singular wine styles, the highlights are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a whole lot more!
