Bottle of Grosset Pinot Noir 2025.

Grosset Pinot Noir 2025
$97, 14% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.

Only 400 cases produced. 50% whole bunch, foot stomped, bottled unfined.

This is a wine of curiosity and charm, miracle and wonder. It’s light, svelte, complex and insistent at once. It tastes of an assortment of berries – boysenberry, blueberry, blackberry and something like raspberry or certainly a redder berry character – but then too there are spice and floral notes, and smoky oak too. It all rattles around a fraction at this early stage of its life but even by its release date – in April 2026 – it should have come together, and from next year onwards it will present beautifully. It’s got something, this wine; something special. 94 points.
