Kimbolton Wines The Rifleman Pinot Noir 2022 from the Adelaide Hills is a beautifully fragrant, medium‑bodied Pinot – cool‑climate, whole‑bunch charm with plenty of red‑fruit brightness and gentle earthiness.

On the nose, The Rifleman Pinot Noir 2022 shows lifted violets, red cherry and raspberry, with aromas clearly influenced by whole‑bunch fermentation – think red fruits wrapped in hints of spice, forest floor and a touch of vanilla‑scented oak. The palate is silky and medium in weight, brimming with juicy red fruits, subtle savoury notes and fine, powdery tannins that give shape without heaviness, all carried by fresh, cool‑climate acidity for a long, graceful finish. It’s elegant and expressive rather than big or boozy.

The Rifleman Pinot Noir is spot‑on with duck breast, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, charcuterie or simple pasta with wild mushrooms, where its bright red fruit and gentle earthiness dovetail beautifully with savoury flavours. It’s equally at home with soft cheeses and lighter shared plates, making it a refined yet approachable choice for Pinot lovers.
