Beresford Wines is thrilled to announce the release of its 2024 Emblem Pinot Noir, a wine that marks an exciting new chapter in the label’s multi-regional program. With a focus on freshness, structure, and the purity of fruit, this vintage offers a vibrant, food-friendly expression of one of the world’s most beloved varietals.
Crafted from handpicked fruit sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Kuitpo and Aldgate Estate Block in the Adelaide Hills, the 2024 Emblem Pinot Noir is a testament to Beresford’s commitment to site-specific winemaking and minimal intervention. The result? A wine that showcases the hallmark characteristics of high-altitude Pinot Noir: bright acidity, fine tannins, and lifted aromatics.
“There’s a real clarity to this wine — it’s light on its feet but carries intense flavor and length,” says Chad Smith, winemaker at Beresford Estate. “We wanted to create something that feels considered but unpretentious. It’s just as perfect for pairing with food as it is for pouring a glass on a Sunday afternoon.”
Tasting Notes: Fresh, Layered, and Versatile
The 2024 Emblem Pinot Noir is a sensory delight, offering a vibrant medium ruby hue and a bouquet of floral and earthy aromas. Here’s what to expect:
- Color: Vibrant medium ruby
- Bouquet: Rose petals, dried lavender, forest floor, crushed herbs, and a touch of spice from seasoned French oak
- Palate: Bright cranberry, sour cherry, and pomegranate, underpinned by crisp acidity and a long, elegant finish
“Pinot Noir is a true reflection of place, and the 2024 vintage has everything we love about the Adelaide Hills — the altitude, the perfume, the freshness, and the finesse,” adds Smith.
Perfect Pairings for Every Occasion
The Emblem Pinot Noir’s crisp acidity and fruit-forward profile make it a versatile companion at the table. Whether you’re planning a cozy dinner or a casual gathering, this wine pairs beautifully with:
- Duck breast with cherry and red wine glaze
- Mushroom risotto with truffle oil
- Grilled trout with herbed butter
- Prosciutto, gruyère, and charcuterie boards
Its medium body and fine structure also make it a year-round favorite. Enjoy it slightly chilled during warmer months or decant it in winter to enhance its depth and complexity.
