Chatto Killara Farm Pinot Noir 2025 by Jim Chatto from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley is a seriously exciting, dark‑fruited expression of Tassie Pinot that feels both muscular and beautifully composed in the glass, perfect for anyone who loves depth without heaviness. Aromatically you can expect a lift of red cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, sitting over darker berry tones, subtle chocolate, dried herb perfume and a gravelly, savoury edge that gives real detail. On the palate it is full of energy, with lively natural acidity, ultra‑fine tannins and layers of dark fruit that flow long and persistent.

For pairing, this 2025 Chatto Killara Farm Pinot Noir shines alongside roast duck with cherry glaze, crisp pork belly, or mushroom and thyme ragù over pappardelle, where its structure and acidity cut through richness beautifully. It is also a fantastic match with grilled lamb cutlets, charred radicchio or a truffled potato gratin, letting the wine’s spice and savoury notes really sing. Think of it as your go‑to premium Tasmanian Pinot for serious food‑friendly occasions.

Given the vineyard pedigree and style, this wine will reward 5–8 years in the cellar, building more gamey complexity while keeping that core of dark fruit intact. Serve Chatto Killara Farm Pinot Noir 2025 in large Pinot stems at around 14–16°C to let the fragrance open fully and the tannins feel satin‑smooth. If you love coal river valley pinot noir with both power and poise, this should be at the top of your list.
