Red and black fruits mingle with poached plum and cassis in this Silent Way Pinot Noir 2024, a stunning Macedon Ranges expression from winemaker Matt Harrop’s 11th vintage at the elevated Glenhope vineyard. Deep red with a purple rim, this cool-climate beauty incorporates 10% whole bunches in the ferment to add lovely complexity and fullness of flavour alongside hints of spice and boysenberry. A very cool growing season has created beautiful fresh acidity that offers gorgeous drinking now and into the medium term.

The palate is full flavoured and fresh with plums, blackberry and a touch of jamminess that brings immediate pleasure. Medium-weight with cool vintage acidity, the wine shows succulent balance alongside juicy cherry aromas with light complexing notes of florals and herbs. Pure and inviting, this Macedon Pinot expresses the ancient soils with elegant silky texture and earthy undertones.

Duck breast with cherry reduction, mushroom risotto or roast chicken with herbs pair beautifully with this elegant Pinot where the medium weight and fresh acidity complement savoury flavours. Try it with grilled salmon, pork tenderloin or soft cheeses – the silky texture and fruit purity enhance lighter proteins perfectly.
