Ngeringa Pinot Noir 2021 (750ml) *

Pinot Noir is the thin-skinned, temperamental grape that rewards cool-climate patience with perfume and finesse rather than sheer weight, and this bottling from Ngeringa in South Australia works in that idiom, a 2021 red made in a lighter, aromatic style. Pinot from cooler South Australian sites tends toward red fruit and a savory edge rather than the darker, riper profile of the region's better-known Shiraz, and this leans into that fresher expression.
