Sidewood Signature ‘Abel’ Pinot Noir 2024 from the Adelaide Hills is a premium, cool-climate Pinot that captures the essence of the region with its distinctive character. This wine is crafted from the rare ‘Abel’ clone, also known as the ‘Gumboot’ clone, handpicked from the historic Mappinga Road vineyard. It shows complex aromas of dark cherry, Davidson plum, and pine forest floor, followed by a palate layered with wild berries and warm allspice.

The wine is fermented with wild yeast in small batches using 10% whole-bunch and partial whole-berry fermentation, then matured for 10 months in older French oak barrels, resulting in seamless tannins and a fine, complex finish. Sidewood Signature ‘Abel’ Pinot Noir 2024 is elegantly structured and pairs beautifully with dishes like duck, mushroom risotto, and lamb, delivering a refined, layered drinking experience for Pinot lovers seeking depth and nuance.
