Chain of Ponds Section 400 Pinot Noir

Chain of Ponds Section 400 Pinot Noir 2025 from the cool Adelaide Hills is an elegant, light‑to‑medium‑bodied Pinot that’s all about juicy red fruits, silky texture and subtle savoury detail – slurpy, approachable and quietly complex. Section 400 Pinot Noir 2025 continues the site’s reputation for great value Hills Pinot.

Expect sweet red and Morello cherries, raspberry and blueberries on the nose, entwined with roasted beetroot, subtle fennel, wild mint and a touch of earthiness. On the palate there’s generous fruit weight showing satsuma plum, juicy cherry and blueberry, slight stalky notes and blackcurrant, all folded into a silky, medium‑bodied frame with fine, velvety tannins, balanced acidity and a mild savoury finish that gives excellent length and drive.

It’s tailor‑made for roast duck, confit duck, lighter red meats, mushroom dishes and chicken or turkey with earthy sides, where that red‑fruit‑and‑herb profile can really shine, and it will handle charcuterie and soft cheeses beautifully too. Chain of Ponds Section 400 Pinot Noir 2025 is a versatile Adelaide Hills Pinot – classy enough for a proper dinner, yet easygoing enough for a relaxed midweek bottle.
