The 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir is the latest triumph in this journey, following in the footsteps of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 vintages, which swept up pretty much every award going at our nation's wine shows. This was followed by the 2022 bottling clinching the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2023.

"The 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir offers a complex nose of raspberry, pomegranate, and cherry blossom, with a palate of densely structured red fruits. Subtle notes of dried herbs, aniseed, and oak spice add depth and intrigue, while fine whole-bunch tannins lend the wine a lifted, elegant finish with remarkable poise and length" - Liam McElhinney, Winemaker

"There's a lot going on here - all of it good. Bright red cherry, red plum and raspberry pip tones with
hints of cocoa powder, pomegranate, Chinese barbecue joint, amaro, souk-like spice, leaf litter, struck flint, XO sauce, shiitake broth and earth. Pure and spicy red fruits, fine, powdery tannins and a mineral-laden acidity that seems to pull the flavours forward on the palate, finishing long, savoury and true with everything plumb and tickety boo. Just lovely. 96 points. Dave Brookes, Wine Companion March
