Southwood Wines Glenora Pinot Noir 2023 is crafted from Derwent Valley fruit and a trio of classic clones—667, MV6 and 1987 old vines—showcasing Tasmania’s cool-climate credentials. The nose is lively and precise, offering red fruits like cherry and cranberry, accented by a whiff of aniseed and green herbs, with a fine touch of oak woven subtly in the background for lift and structure.​

On the palate, the Glenora Pinot Noir 2023 is brisk and energetic, driven by firm natural acidity and a rush of fresh red berries. Herbal notes intermingle with silky tannins and measured use of oak, creating depth without overpowering finesse. True to Tasmanian Pinot Noir, it balances fruit vibrancy with a savoury undercurrent and a shimmering texture that tapers to a long finish. This wine will shine alongside duck confit, grilled salmon, or earthy beetroot salad—great for pairing with food that highlights its natural acidity and complexity.​
