Murrumbateman Pinot Noir

Murrumbateman Winery Pinot Noir 2022 from the renowned cool‑climate Canberra District is a complex, perfumed pinot that leans into light body, bright red fruits and a really pretty, food‑friendly style.

In the glass, this 2022 Murrumbateman Pinot Noir shows rose‑petal aromatics and fresh cherry, with strawberry‑like sweet red fruit and gentle spice typical of Canberra District pinot. The palate is light‑bodied and well balanced, driven by fresh cherry and red berries, fine tannins and refreshing acidity, designed for enjoyment rather than big, brooding power.

As an Aussie sommelier, I’d be pouring Murrumbateman Pinot Noir 2022 with roast duck, mushroom risotto or char‑grilled salmon, letting its perfume and delicacy complement rather than dominate. It’s also perfectly suited to charcuterie, soft cheeses and lighter game dishes – a cool‑climate red that’s easy to drink but still offers genuine pinot interest.
