Coppabella Wines Sirius Pinot Noir 2022 from Tumbarumba is a seriously classy, cool‑climate Pinot – bright ruby in the glass, floral, spicy and properly structural, showing just how good high‑altitude NSW Pinot can be. It’s a wine you can admire from every angle, not just smash.

On the nose, Coppabella Sirius Pinot Noir 2022 brims with stewed and fresh cherries, wild strawberry, raspberry and dark cherry, laced with violets, red roses and sweet spice, plus a subtle savoury earthiness. Light to medium‑bodied, it’s silky yet composed, delivering layers of red cherry, winter strawberry and raspberry over fine, persistent tannins and vibrant acidity. It’s pretty, serious and very moreish.

For food, reach for roast duck, crispy skinned chicken, pork belly, mushroom risotto or char‑grilled salmon – anything that loves bright red fruit and gentle spice. It’s also superb with charcuterie and washed‑rind or soft cheeses, making it a go‑to Tumbarumba Pinot for both quiet dinners and special nights.
