Vinteloper NEONOIR Pinot Noir 2025

Neonoir is immeditaely impactful. Straight up you get the sense this is good Pinot... It's bright, yet rather serious. Cranberry, strawberry, and cherry shimmy alongside a hint of almond, all held together by a silky, structured beat. Crunchy acidity keeps things lively, facilitating the choice to chill this light red. So crank the tunes and grab a glass! Earmarked for 'NEO' in the vineyard we built its expressive character around Whole Bunch this year with open-top fermentation for 7 days and light use of neutral oak for 6 months. A slight chill on this is always good fun. It's versatile. When Rosé just won't cut it, step it up here. 100% Pinot Noir 100% Adelaide Hills. Grown at Verdure and Leland Estate..
