Spring Vale Melrose Pinot Noir 2025 375ml

Bright, vibrant and wonderfully approachable, this charming East Coast Tasmanian Pinot Noir delivers an inviting combination of juicy red fruits, delicate florals and gentle spice.

Fresh red cherry and raspberry provide a lively, fruit-forward entry, with fragrant potpourri adding a lovely floral lift. The mid-palate introduces juicy pomegranate, subtle earthy undertones and a touch of spice, complemented by a soft, supple texture.

Light to medium-bodied, with mellow tannins and refreshing acidity carrying the red berry flavours through to a clean, satisfying finish. An elegant, easy-drinking Pinot Noir that offers plenty of character without unnecessary weight.

Winemaking

Produced from a selection of Pinot Noir clones grown across Spring Vale's East Coast vineyards. Individual parcels were harvested between mid-March and early April 2025, followed by a four-day cold soak before fermentation. Gentle pump-overs helped extract colour, flavour and delicate tannins. The wine was subsequently transferred to seasoned French oak barriques to complete malolactic fermentation, preserving its vibrant fruit character and supple structure. 

Food Match

Spaghetti marinara, Spanish pisto (slow-cooked Mediterranean vegetables), roast chicken with thyme and mushrooms, or crispy-skinned Tasmanian ocean trout.
