Pinot Noir 2025

As one of our 'Small Batch' wines the Pinot Noir is absolutely a passion project.

It's something of a holy grail for many winemakers. When it's good, Pinot beguiles us with its aromatic beauty, intrigue and restrained power on the palate.

At Clonakilla our Pinot Noir vines are getting older; we like to think the more deeply rooted the vines are, the more effective they are at accessing the complex mineral and nutritional resources in the soil.

The Abel, 667 and Pommard vines were planted in 2013, the 777 and 115 clones were planted in 2007 and 2008, and the original 130 Pinot vines were planted by Clonakilla founder John Kirk way back in 1978.

2025 was a marvellous vintage season with excellent spring rain and a glorious warm summer.

The 25 Pinot is right on song; a mesmerising perfume and a captivating energy through the palate. We think you'll love it.

Tim Kirk and the team at Clonakilla
