Briar Ridge Single Vineyard Block 6 Pinot Noir 2024 from Orange is a seriously classy cool‑climate Pinot – all spice, perfume and tension wrapped around beautifully pure fruit. This 2024 Block 6 Pinot Noir is whole‑bunch fermented, giving extra lift, structure and savoury complexity without losing charm.

In the glass you’re looking at dark cherry and blackberry with raspberry and mulberry brightness, laced with sage, thyme, florals and gentle whole‑bunch crunch. The palate is medium‑bodied and silky, with red and dark berries, fine red‑tea tannins, bright acidity and subtle nutmeg and cinnamon spice carrying through a long, elegant finish.

This Briar Ridge Single Vineyard Block 6 Pinot Noir 2024 is magic with duck in any form, mushroom risotto, roast chicken, pork belly, charcuterie or grilled salmon. It’s a brilliant dinner‑party red right now with a quick decant, and has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 4–6 years.
