Stonehaven Stepping Stone Pinot Noir 2025 from the Limestone Coast is a light‑to‑medium bodied, earthy and slightly savoury Pinot that massively over‑delivers for the price. It is very much a “thinky” everyday Pinot rather than simple fruit juice in a glass.

In the glass it shows light crimson/ruby colour with aromatics of red cherries, red currants and sweet Maraschino cherry, backed by spices, florals, warm earth, mushrooms and dried herbs. The palate is fresh and medium in length, with bright, well‑defined red‑cherry and red‑currant fruit, earthy mushroom notes, satiny tannins and a gently savoury finish that keeps it food‑friendly.

This Stepping Stone Pinot Noir 2025 is a great match for roast chicken, pork sausages, mushroom pasta, charcuterie or a simple pizza night, and it will drink nicely over the next three to four years. It is vegan‑friendly too, so an easy choice for mixed‑diet dinner tables in Adelaide.
