A wine that embodies elegance and complexity, the 2018 Cornelius Armitage Pinot Noir opens with enticing aromas of black peppercorn, earthy undertones, and bright red cherries. Its bouquet is beautifully fragrant, offering a refreshing lift with a subtle peppery finish.

Sourced from a single vineyard featuring 30-year-old vines and three carefully selected Pinot Noir clones, MV6, 114, and 115, this wine is fermented in small open-top fermenters, with manual plunging once a day. It is then aged in Troncais barriques for 16 months, allowing for a slow maturation that enhances its depth and complexity.

Ready to enjoy now or perfect for cellaring, this exceptional Pinot Noir is available online and at our Cellar Door.

Introducing our new vintage release – the 2024 Scotchmans Hill Late Harvest Riesling –
perfect for your holiday table or as an elegant gift.

Mark suggests pairing it with a lemon or quince tart to enhance the citrus notes, making it a festive season favourite.
