2025 William Downie Pinot Noir Gippsland – The 2025 Gippsland Pinot Noir from William Downie captures the purity and wild charm that define both the region and the producer’s hands-off philosophy. It is a beautifully transparent expression of site – fragrant, energetic and quietly complex.Perfumed and lifted, the nose reveals wild raspberry, red cherry and cranberry layered with rose petal, blood orange and dried herbs. Subtle earthy tones of forest floor, tea leaf and gentle spice emerge with air, lending depth and intrigue.Elegant and finely etched, the palate flows with bright red fruits supported by lively acidity and ultra-fine tannins. There is a savoury thread running beneath the fruit – hints of autumn leaves, subtle spice and mineral nuance – that adds structure without weight. The texture is supple yet energetic, finishing long, fresh and quietly persistent.A natural partner for roast duck, grilled quail, mushroom dishes or charcuterie. Its delicate structure and savoury complexity make it particularly well suited to dishes with earthy or herbal elements.Single Price: $85.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $65.00
