Banks Road Pinot Noir 2024 from the Bellarine Peninsula is a fragrant, finely tuned Pinot that showcases cool‑climate elegance with bright red fruits, savoury complexity and a silky, moreish palate that feels effortlessly classy in the glass. This Banks Road 2024 Pinot Noir really captures that coastal freshness, balancing purity of fruit with gentle, well‑judged oak.

Aromatically, you’re looking at lifted red cherry, wild strawberry and hints of rose petal, rhubarb and spice, with subtle forest‑floor and truffle notes from a touch of wild ferment and bottle age. The palate is silky and medium‑bodied, carrying juicy red fruits, earthy nuances and fine, chalky tannins through a long, savoury, slightly mineral finish. It’s the sort of Pinot that rewards a quick swirl and a large glass to let those layers unwind.

On the table, Banks Road Pinot Noir 2024 is a natural with roast duck, crispy skin chicken, mushroom risotto, pork belly or seared tuna, where its acidity and fine tannins cut through richness beautifully. It also shines with charcuterie, hard cheeses and earthy vegetarian dishes like beetroot salad or roast mushroom tarts, and is spot‑on served just lightly chilled.
