The 2025 Storm Bay Pinot Noir is produced by Frogmore Creek, capturing the approachable yet refined side of Southern Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. Crafted with a cool tank fermentation to preserve bright, primary fruit aromatics alongside gentle lees aging, this vintage offers an authentic regional expression designed to show off the vineyard’s cool-climate character without heavy oak influence.
Displaying a vibrant ruby hue in the glass, the nose opens with expressive aromas of red cherry, dark plum, and fresh raspberries, subtle herbal undertones, and a touch of warm spice. On the palate, it delivers a lively core of juicy red fruits balanced by silky, fine-grained tannins and bright, refreshing acidity. Hints of forest floor and subtle savoury complexity add depth to the mid-palate, leading into a smooth, clean finish that pairs wonderfully with duck breast, roasted pork, mushroom risotto, or a fresh charcuterie board.
