Wickhams Road Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2025

Wickhams Road Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is an Upper Yarra Pinot Noir made for drinking young.

Altitude is the reason this wine tastes the way it does. The Upper Yarra sits high and cool, well above the warmer floor of the valley, and parcels from Hoddles Creek form the backbone of the 2025 blend. Around a fifth went into the ferment as bunches, lending spice and drawing the tannins finer, and the wine stayed 20 days on skins before pressing to French barriques, mostly old with a nominal 5 per cent new. Maturation was deliberately short, because the point of this wine is freshness and drinkability, not cellar time.

Crunchy red cherry, cranberry and a savoury, peppery edge, with soft tannin and clean acidity. Serve at 13 to 14 degrees, cool enough to keep it lively. Pizza, roast chicken, grilled salmon or a bowl of Bolognese.
