Living Roots Pinot Noir 2022 from the Adelaide Hills is a fragrant, mid‑weight pinot that balances bright red fruit with subtle earth and spice. It’s sourced from Pommard and MV6 clones across two cool‑climate vineyards and fermented with a high proportion of whole berries for lift and softness.

In the glass, you can expect aromatic cherry, red plum and a twist of orange peel, backed by gentle earthiness, herbs and spice. The palate is silky and medium‑bodied with fresh acidity, fine tannins and a savoury edge that keeps it from feeling too sweet or simple, finishing clean and moreish.

This makes Living Roots Pinot Noir 2022 a natural with roast chicken, duck, pork belly, mushroom pasta or grilled salmon, and it’s especially good served just a touch cool. It’s a very handy “house pinot” style that shows Adelaide Hills freshness alongside Seb Hardy’s family pinot know‑how.
