2025 Red Claw Pinot Noir
Yabby Lake is one of the big names on the Mornington Peninsula, but their Red Claw label is where they really show off their ability to deliver serious quality at a price that doesn't hurt.
The 2025 season was a cracker for the region, with that classic long, warm summer giving the fruit plenty of time to develop deep flavours while keeping its cool-climate snap. In the winery, the team handled each parcel separately, using a mix of traditional open fermenters and large French oak puncheons to build a wine that feels incredibly polished and complete.
It’s exactly what you want from a Mornington Pinot: bright, fragrant, and loaded with cherries and red fruits. There’s a nice little touch of spice from the small whole-bunch component, and the texture is just lovely - plush and velvety with a lingering silky finish.
The ultimate midweek Pinot for when you want something that feels premium without the premium price tag.
