Gala Estate White Label Pinot Noir 2023 from Tasmania’s East Coast is a bright, perfumed pinot that punches well above its price, made for pure drinking pleasure rather than heavy oak or extraction. Aromas jump out of the glass – think fresh forest fruits, raspberry and red cherry, with raspberry brioche, gentle mocha, spice and a faint smokiness.

On the palate, this White Label Pinot Noir 2023 is soft, sleek and medium‑bodied, all juicy red fruits in seamless harmony with subtle oak. Ultra‑fine tannins and bright acidity give a refreshing, moreish finish, with flavours that persist nicely for such an easygoing style. It’s a terrific value Tassie pinot that drinks beautifully now and is ideal slightly chilled in warmer weather.

Food‑wise, Gala Estate White Label Pinot Noir 2023 is spot‑on with pizza, pasta, charcuterie, lighter meats, grilled chicken, pork, and mushroom dishes. It’s the kind of versatile, fruit‑driven East Coast Tasmanian pinot you can pour mid‑week or at a casual lunch and know everyone will be happy.
