The Hero Preservative Free Pinot Noir 2025 (Australia)

Description

Cherry, Raspberry, Spice

Bright and expressive, The Hero Pinot Noir opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and subtle cranberry, layered with hints of dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is soft and vibrant, delivering juicy red berry flavours with a silky texture and finely balanced acidity.

The Hero wines are hand-crafted from the best quality fruit sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, including McLaren Vale and the Barossa. With meticulous handling in the vineyard and winery, the pristine fruit will have less exposure to anything harmful that may normally require the addition of preservatives. Our wines are crafted to be brightly coloured, exotically fragrant, full-flavoured and critically, they sing without the addition of preservatives. Perfectly suited to many cuisines, these wines are also crafted to ensure they are suitable for Vegans.

The 2025 vintage was marked by an early and compressed harvest driven by hot, dry conditions. While yields were generally lower due to weather extremes, the quality of fruit was exceptionally high, with concentrated flavours and vibrant natural acidity that delivered high quality wines with strong varietal definition.

Healthy and problem free fruit is selected in the vineyard and then picked in the cool of the night and then rushed to the nearby winery for a fast and focused vinification. Fermentation is cool in a closed static fermenter before a short maturation on lees and bottling.
