Ad Hoc Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir

A silky and refined red wine from the cool-climate region of Pemberton in Western Australia, this Pinot Noir is crafted by acclaimed winemaker Larry Cherubino. Sourced from granite and laterite soils, the fruit benefits from slow ripening and minimal intervention, allowing the grape’s natural elegance to shine. Fermented with a mix of wild and selected yeasts, and aged in older French oak for six months, the wine balances bright fruit with subtle savoury depth. It’s a beautifully judged expression of Pinot Noir, offering finesse, freshness and charm.

• Light to medium in body with a mellow character.
• This is a wine that rewards those who appreciate subtlety over power.
• Delicate red berry flavours, gentle spice, and a lightly oaked structure give it depth without overwhelming its soft and silky texture.
• Bright raspberry and red cherry on the nose with a lift of floral freshness
• A touch of forest floor adds a savoury complexity beneath the fruit
• Fine, silky tannins lend elegance and a polished mouthfeel

Pair with grilled pork chops, herb-infused sausages or mushroom risotto.
