Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir

Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir 2024 from Sidewood in the Adelaide Hills is an elegant, cool-climate Pinot Noir with wild strawberry, savoury spice and a refined, structured finish. This 2024 Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir opens with exotic wild strawberry, dark cherry, raspberry and dried herb notes, then folds into game, clove, nutmeg and a touch of cola spice, all carried by bright acidity and fine, building tannins. It’s light to medium bodied, but there’s real flavour and shape here, so it feels polished rather than flimsy.

It’s a lovely match for duck, salmon, mushroom risotto and roast chicken, where the bright fruit and savoury edge can sit comfortably beside the food. It also works with tuna, pork tenderloin and earthy vegetable dishes, especially when you want a red that stays lifted and graceful. Serve Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir 2024 with a slight chill for a smarter lunch or a relaxed dinner, and it’ll bring a fresh, stylish edge to the table.

Sidewood has a strong reputation in the Adelaide Hills for cool-climate wines, and this sits neatly in their core Estate range as a high-value Pinot with plenty of regional character. The 2024 vintage looks particularly appealing for drink-now enjoyment, though the tannin structure suggests it should hold nicely over the short term. If you want an Adelaide Hills Pinot that’s aromatic, savoury and well put together, this is a compelling choice.
