Syrahmi Garden of Earthly Delights Pinot Noir 2022 from Macedon Ranges is a finely tuned, cool‑climate Pinot that trades in perfume, savoury depth and beautiful line rather than sheer fruit weight. The 2022 Garden of Earthly Delights Pinot draws fruit from the Farmers Arms Vineyard, 100% destemmed, cold‑soaked, wild‑fermented and gently hand‑plunged, then matured in French oak to polish the tannins without drowning the detail.

In the glass it is all red and black cherry, wild berries, black tea, bracken and undergrowth, with a little spice and turned earth sitting behind the fruit. The palate is light to medium‑bodied but feels firm and statuesque, with a fine line of acidity and powdery tannins giving shape and length to those savoury cherry and forest‑floor notes.

Food‑wise, Syrahmi Garden of Earthly Delights Pinot Noir 2022 is made for roast duck, mushroom risotto, char‑grilled salmon, herb‑roast chook or a simple charcuterie board. That mix of red cherry, tea‑leaf savouriness and gentle earthiness lets it sit comfortably from midweek pasta through to more serious Burgundy‑lover dinners, and a short decant will see it open beautifully.
