Lighthand Pinot Noir

2024 Pinot Noir - Yarra Valley 

Single site Pinot from the Continental Platter team that's bright and energetic. Red cherry, raspberry, a little lift like it’s already decided to be generous about it. There’s an ease here: round, silky, nothing catching or out of place.

A bit of whole bunch peeks through something savoury, slightly herbal and just enough to give it shape. The tannins are soft, fine, barely making a fuss. It all feels… settled.

I keep expecting it to demand more attention, to complicate things. It doesn’t. It just delivers, quietly and confidently. Solid, dependable.
