Xavier Goodridge Gippsland Pinot Noir

Xavier Goodridge Gippsland Pinot Noir 2025 from Maffra is a gorgeously perfumed cool-climate red, bringing black cherry, florals and Asian spice together in a bright, confident Gippsland expression. It has generous fruit, fine structure and the kind of savoury freshness that makes one glass quickly become two.

Lifted five spice, decaying rose, violet and kirsch aromas rise over black cherry, red plum and a subtle black-tea note. Xavier Goodridge Gippsland Pinot Noir is medium-bodied and silky, with a taut line of acidity, fine slate-like tannins and a savoury, iron-rich mineral finish.

Serve this Gippsland Pinot Noir lightly chilled with duck breast, roast pork, crispy-skinned salmon or wild mushroom pappardelle. Its lively red fruit brightens rich dishes, while the floral spice and gentle earthiness make it equally brilliant with charcuterie, pâté and a long, relaxed lunch.
