Red Claw Pinot Noir

Red Claw Pinot Noir is a remarkable expression of the Mornington Peninsula, crafted with meticulous attention to detail by Robert and Mem Kirby, pioneers of the Yabby Lake Vineyard. Established in 1992, this vineyard has quickly earned a reputation for excellence, drawing upon the region's unique terroir to produce wines that capture the essence of their surroundings.

The 2023 vintage showcases the vineyard's resilience amid challenging climatic conditions. Following a dry spring, careful irrigation ensured the vines thrived, even during a heatwave. This dedication to quality resulted in a selective harvesting process that prioritized only the finest fruit, culminating in a wine that bursts with character while maintaining a lower alcohol content.

Visually stunning, Red Claw Pinot Noir presents a deep crimson hue, inviting you to explore its aromatic complexity. The bouquet opens up with rich, fragrant notes of cherry and dark berry, complemented by subtle spices and a whisper of French oak. Each sip reveals a long, silky palate, rich with powerful dark red fruit flavors that are perfectly balanced and lead to a finely poised finish.

This Pinot holds a versatile charm, pairing beautifully with duck, venison, and rich game dishes. It also elevates the experience when enjoyed alongside washed rind and camembert cheeses, making it an ideal choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

With an alcohol content of 13.5%, Red Claw Pinot Noir is available in a 750ml format and is a testament to the artistry of winemaking that embodies the spirit of the Mornington Peninsula. Indulge in a glass of Red Claw and savor the vibrant, elegant flavors that this exceptional wine has to offer.
