Details
This edition of the Renzaglia 'Central Ranges' Pinot Noir is sourced from a single vineyard in Orange, NSW. It is light and delicate with cherry blossoms, blood orange and cherry-berry spice. This is a nicely balanced Pinot Noir that showcases how good Orange is as a region for growing grapes.
For those who have spent a full weekend sitting on the couch with a few tinnies watching cars fly up and down hills with names like Skaife, Brock and Lowndes dominating Bathurst, it may be a surprise to you that on this same hallowed turf sit some incredibly good vines that produce equally incredible wine. Enter the Renzaglia family into the frame, where for years they have been plugging away quietly to produce some of the finest Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon around. Mark and Sandy Renzaglia had their first start in the world of wine when, in 1982, Mark’s parents planted vines in Illinois, USA, which at the time was a dry zone, so you weren’t permitted to make alcohol. Luckily, Sandy, being an Aussie, and Mark, who set up in Australia, planted their first vines in 1997 outside Bathurst. Today, their son, Sam, has brought in some flair with the Wambuul Valley range alongside the playful Di Renzo series, which both sit alongside the iconic ‘Bella Luna’ series. The Renzaglia family also pays respects to traditional landowners and the land itself through their vineyard management and bottle messaging.

Pairing guide
Light, delicate and beautifully balanced, this Pinot Noir from Orange is the kind of red that rewards thoughtful food choices rather than heavy-handed ones. The cherry blossom, blood orange and cherry-berry spice character makes it a natural with duck, so a classic roast duck, a duck confit or a warm duck and cherry salad that echoes the wine's own fruit notes are all wonderful starting points. That lovely delicacy also makes it a brilliant companion for seared salmon with a light herb butter, a mushroom and thyme risotto or a simple roast chicken with fresh herbs. For something more relaxed, a charcuterie board with soft creamy cheeses, a little fruit and some good crackers is a quietly brilliant match that lets the wine's elegance do the talking. A warm lentil and roasted beetroot salad, a pinot-friendly salmon nicoise or a light pork and fennel pasta are also very much worth exploring alongside this one.
