Nepenthe Pinot Noir

Nepenthe Pinot Noir 2025 from Nepenthe in the Adelaide Hills is a bright, medium‑bodied Pinot that leans into red‑fruit purity and easy drinkability – a cool‑climate style that’s fragrant, silky and very food‑friendly. The 2025 release shows lifted raspberry and cherry aromas, often with touches of strawberry and a hint of rhubarb, leading into a palate of juicy red berries supported by subtle spice and velvety tannins. Natural acidity keeps it fresh and lively, so it feels deliciously moreish rather than heavy or jammy.

Made from fruit picked at full ripeness with great natural acidity, Nepenthe Pinot Noir 2025 captures the vibrancy of a cool, fast‑moving Adelaide Hills vintage that delivered expressive, well‑balanced wines. The style is very much “light and perfumed” Pinot – red‑fruit driven, with just enough savoury complexity to hold interest in the glass. It’s a smart option if you want a Pinot that tastes genuine and varietal without tipping into big, oaky or over‑concentrated territory.

On the table, Nepenthe Pinot Noir 2025 is ideal with roast chicken, turkey, charcuterie and mushroom dishes, where its raspberry‑and‑cherry core and gentle spice sync beautifully with savoury flavours. It also sits nicely beside lighter pasta, pizza and soft cheeses, thanks to its medium body and silky tannins. Serve it slightly chilled to highlight the perfume and keep the palate feeling crisp and polished.
