2025 Punt Road Pinot Noir

Punt Road has built a reputation for making smart, estate-grown Yarra wines that don’t cost the earth, and this Pinot is a perfect example. Sourced from their Coldstream vineyards, it’s a mix of clones and blocks that add layers of fruit, spice, and texture without tipping into heaviness.

Wild fermented with a portion of whole bunches, then matured in mostly seasoned French oak, the winemaking is simple and respectful — all about letting the fruit shine. The result is bright and fresh, with red cherry, cranberry and a touch of spice and earth. Fine tannins and clean acidity give it shape, while keeping it easy to drink.

It’s a Pinot that delivers well above its price tag — balanced, versatile and just really well put together.

"Nice wine here. It’s a very good vintage for the wine, and don’t mind me, has something of a Côte de Beaune character about it."
