Cat out of the Bag Pinot Noir 2024 by Leura Park Estate on the cool, coastal Bellarine Peninsula is a lively, modern Pinot that pours a bright ruby and immediately pops with red fruit fragrance. This Cat Out of the Bag Pinot Noir 2024 is all charm and drinkability from the first swirl.

Aromatics run to ripe cherry, wild raspberry and strawberry with hints of rose petal and soft spice, leading into a medium‑bodied palate that’s juicy yet finely structured. Silky tannins wrap around red cherry, cranberry and gentle earthy notes, finishing with a refreshing line of acidity that keeps everything bright and moreish rather than heavy.

Food‑wise, it’s spot‑on with crispy‑skin duck, roast chicken, mushroom risotto and charcuterie, where that red‑berry lift cuts through fat and umami. It’s also excellent slightly chilled with grilled salmon, pork sausages or a cheese and charcuterie board, making it a versatile red for year‑round drinking.
