It’s that time of year when thoughts turn to cooler nights around the fire, snuggling up to your special someone with a movie and drop of red wine to set the mood – we have the perfect vino for you, Poachers Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021.
Awarded best Pinot Noir of Show at the 2022 NSW Wine Awards, this red boasts fresh wild plum, violet and strawberry aromas leading to a crunchy medium-bodied finish with lovely soft tannins.
Hand-picked from cane-pruned vines at Poachers Vineyard on Namima Road in Springrange, this Pinot was aged in new French oak for 11 months to produce a red that will soon become your favourite tipple.
This small family business started more than 30 years ago, built around a love of good food and wine and sharing with family and friends. From simple beginnings as an artisan smokehouse, it has grown to include the Smokehouse Restaurant, Poachers Vineyard, farm shop, cellar door, country wedding and event destination.
Straddling northeast facing slopes of the granite hills between Murrumbateman and Canberra – the heart of the Canberra wine region – Poachers is now in the hands of the second generation with William Bruce at the helm.
Born with wine in his veins and mud under his fingernails, William has a passion for organics and regenerative viticulture and is working towards a wholly organic vineyard in the coming years.
With the vineyards wrapping around the restaurant and cellar door, this is the ideal spot to sample estate wines along with a meal in the restaurant – or choose a selection of smoked meat and produce from the farm shop for a casual picnic in the gardens.
