Bright, vibrant and unmistakably Mornington Peninsula in style, the 2025 Red Claw Pinot Noir captures the region’s cool-climate elegance with a modern, approachable touch. Produced by the respected Yabby Lake team, the Red Claw label focuses on wines that express purity of fruit and regional character while remaining immediately drinkable. The 2025 vintage benefits from the Peninsula’s maritime influence, where cooling breezes from Port Phillip Bay help extend the ripening period and preserve freshness in the fruit. Carefully selected parcels of Pinot Noir are fermented with a balance of whole berries and gentle extraction to highlight aromatic lift and supple texture.
In the glass, the wine reveals a luminous ruby colour and an inviting bouquet that leans toward bright red fruit and subtle savoury complexity. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, with finely woven tannins that frame the wine without overpowering its delicate fruit profile. Subtle oak maturation adds depth and structure while allowing the purity of the fruit to remain the focus. The result is a polished and expressive Pinot Noir that reflects both place and thoughtful winemaking. It is equally suited to relaxed dining or more refined pairings, offering a graceful interpretation of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir.
