2023 Clarence House Block 1 Pinot Noir, Cambridge

The Block 1 Pinot Noir typically exhibits classic Pinot Noir characteristics, such as red berry fruits (cherry, raspberry), hints of spice, and earthy undertones. The wine is often praised for its balance, with a silky texture, bright acidity, and well-integrated tannins.

Clarence House is located in Cambridge, a sub-region of Tasmania, which is recognized for producing some of Australia’s finest cool-climate wines. The cooler climate of Tasmania allows for a longer ripening period, which contributes to the complexity and balance of the wines.

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, duck, pork, and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms. It also complements lighter meats like lamb or veal, and its acidity makes it a good match for dishes with a bit of richness, such as creamy sauces.
