Byrne Farm Pinot Noir 2023

Byrne Farm Pinot Noir is a certified organic Pinot Noir from a cool Orange season.

Vines at Springvale, just outside Cargo, are close to thirty years old, own-rooted at 820 metres and planted to Abel and 115 — the Abel clone carrying most of the load for the Christmas-spice perfume Jeff Byrne looks for. The site is believed to be the first organically certified vineyard in New South Wales, and he has worked with it for a dozen years. This vintage, 85 per cent of the fruit was destemmed into three-tonne open fermenters for a four-day cold soak and a ten-day ferment on skins, then pressed lightly to 500-litre barrels with just five per cent new oak for ten months.

Red-fruited, pretty and refined, with woodsy spice underneath and a floral, savoury lift at the edges. The frame is textural, which is how Jeff Byrne likes his Pinot. Serve at 14 degrees: roast chicken, charcuterie, or lentils with mushrooms.
