Woodgate Reserve Pinot Noir 2022 from Woodgate Wines in Manjimup, Western Australia, is a focused and graceful cool‑climate Pinot with a deliciously sweet red‑fruit core. From the Southern Forests, it balances delicate perfume, silky texture and savoury forest‑floor complexity with the structure to reward time in the cellar.

The nose is vibrant with cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with subtle sweet spice, earth, mushrooms and a gentle touch of integrated oak. On the palate, red berry fruit carries through with precision, joined by a soft savoury note and a hint of truffle. Woodgate Pinot Noir 2022 is elegant rather than heavy, finishing long, bright and silky.

This Woodgate Reserve Pinot Noir is spot‑on with duck breast, game terrine, roast quail, mushroom risotto, pork loin or duck pâté. Its forest‑floor savouriness also makes it a brilliant match for truffle pasta and soft, earthy cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature for a polished Manjimup Pinot that feels just as at home at a dinner party as it does beside a cosy midweek meal.
