A vibrant, early-drinking Pinot Noir from Xavier Goodridge’s “Pa Pa” range, crafted in a style that prioritises purity, freshness and immediate drinkability. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards in Gippsland, this is a Pinot built around energy and fruit clarity rather than heavy extraction or oak influence.

The nose is lifted and expressive, opening with bright red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry coulis, layered with subtle rose petal, dried herbs and a faint earthy spice. There’s a gentle fermentative, natural-wine edge that adds personality without overwhelming the fruit.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, flowing with juicy red berry fruit and a soft, supple texture. Tannins are fine and delicate, more textural than structural, while the acidity keeps everything fresh, lively and lifted. The wine moves easily across the palate, finishing clean with a touch of savoury spice and red fruit persistence.

This is a Pinot designed for immediate enjoyment—slightly chilled if desired—offering a modern Gippsland expression that sits comfortably between natural wine energy and classic Pinot clarity.

Best enjoyed with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, or simply shared casually with food and good company. A pure, unpretentious expression of place and drinkability.
