2024 Turon Limited Series Pinot Noir

The Limited Series is where Turon White really digs into the potential of his home turf in Lenswood. This is a high-altitude site that naturally produces a more elegant, structural style of Pinot. It's a significant step up in complexity, focusing on the more cerebral side of the variety rather than just simple primary fruit.

The 2024 is a pretty, translucent red that leads with wild strawberry and sour cherry, but it’s the non-fruit characters that make it interesting. There’s a distinct forest-floor earthiness and a bit of dried herb that gives it a savoury edge. It’s been handled gently in the winery, allowing the fine, chalky tannins to provide a neat frame without crowding the delicate fruit.

If you’re after a Pinot with real sense of place and plenty of detail, this is a top-flight Adelaide Hills example.

95 points "A succulent pinot noir offering up a cavalcade of red berries tightly wound in pulverised rock tannin, roasted beetroot, rhubarb and dried herb inflections... But its architecture is serious, and the wine seriously good overall." - Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)
