Beautiful Isle Peacock Pinot Noir 2024 from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley is a wonderfully vibrant cool‑climate red, with that pretty label matched by a silky, aromatic style that really overdelivers for the price. Beautiful Isle Peacock Pinot Noir 2024 is all raspberries, cherries and wild strawberries, with violet, spice and a gentle earthy thread, sitting in a light‑bodied, very juicy frame with low tannins, medium acidity and just a touch of oak for polish.

Keep the food light – this sings with seared tuna, salmon, trout, roast chook, mushroom pasta or a good margherita pizza, where its freshness and red‑fruit crunch don’t get overwhelmed. It’s also spot‑on with charcuterie, soft cheeses and salads using pomegranate or orange, making it a cracking mid‑week Tassie Pinot to pour generously. Serve lightly chilled and don’t be shy with a big glass to let those aromatics open up.

For Aussie Pinot drinkers who love bright, perfumed, easygoing reds rather than heavy, oaky styles, this is a very smart buy – proper cool‑climate Tassie character, vegan‑friendly and ready to enjoy over the next few years without any fuss.
