Red wine | South Eastern Australia
From McGuigan Wines, this Pinot Noir hails from South Eastern Australia. McGuigan Wines is known for producing accessible and well-made wines, and this Pinot Noir exemplifies their approach. On the palate, expect flavours of fresh strawberries, raspberries and white pepper alongside a gentle mouthfeel. It's supported by soft, velvety texture and good length with subtle tannins.
This Pinot Noir is a versatile wine, pairing beautifully with a range of dishes. Its bright fruit and earthy notes make it a great match for roasted chicken or duck, as well as grilled salmon. For vegetarian options, try it with mushroom-based dishes like risotto or pasta. Also a classic pairing with lighter cheeses like brie or camembert. Its moderate tannins and acidity cut through the richness of these cheeses, while its fruity aromas complement their creamy flavours.
Enjoy this Pinot Noir slightly chilled (around 16°C) to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. The wine is well-balanced and approachable, making it a great choice for both casual sipping and pairing with food. For optimal enjoyment, allow the wine to breathe for about 15 minutes before serving. This will further enhance its aromas and flavors, creating a more complete tasting experience. This bottle contains around 7.7 standard drinks.
