IT'S THE SEASON FOR PINOT

Pinot Picnic is a three-day celebration of extraordinary events showcasing premium local Pinot and produce across Manjimup and Pemberton, Western Australia returning for its fourth year. Wine and dine your way through the stunning Southern Forests with a variety of pop-up pinot themed events.

Foodies, wine-lovers and romantics will have the chance to sip, taste and explore this stunning corner of Western Australia across the three-day celebration in May, with a wide variety of events, picnics, and wine promotions.

LILLIAN

2023 PINOT NOIR

John Brocksopp is a wine industry legend, having played a major role, as viticulturist for Leeuwin Estate and the development of Margaret River in the early days. In retirement, he tends his Pemberton vineyard and quietly makes some of WA’s best-value premium wines in an icy-cold, deep-set valley on Pemberton’s perimeter. His is a plush pinot style, reflecting the warmth of vintage, with ripe berry fruit, maraschino cherries, vanilla oak and a prickle of spice. In short, it’s a powerful pinot. The intensity and length are impressive. Flavours linger for minutes. While not a delicate, this is an extraordinary wine and worthy of a special occasion. -Paul Edwards, The West Australian, Dec 2022 Tasting notes: Bouquet: Cherry, Raspberry, Sweet Spice Palate: Cherries, Wild Strawberry, Plush Alc content: 13.9% RRP Price: $60.00 Available at: Manjimup BottleO (Tall Timbers)

2022 PINOT NOIR

Singing of Pemberton, this pinot could be from nowhere else. Brambly red cherry, strawberry and green olive direct the aromas, with hints of crushed coffee, white spice and white chocolate playing minor but significant roles onstage.  On the palate, this is an elegant pinot, moving down the light and fine path, rather than full and dense. Not quite fine-boned, this has an elegant structure that holds all the intense fruit together, the tannins are finely woven throughout.  Alc content: 13.5% Cellar Door Price: $35.00 Available at: Cellar door, Pemberton Liquor Barons, Pemberton BottleMart, Manjimup BottleMart, Manjimup BottleO (Tall Timbers)

2022 PINOT NOIR

Excellent fruit intensity, structure, pH to acid relationship and fine-grained tannins guarantee long life and excellent bottle development. The wines are also very approachable in their early years. Since the first vintage in 1996, an increase in new clonal plantings and an advance in vine age has resulted in wines of greater texture, structure and complexity. Picardy Pinot Noir consists of 11 clones: upright, droopy (existing clones in Australia) and clones 114, 115 and 777 (which are special selections from the University of Dijon) as well as 6 new clones imported from Burgundy. It took 21 years - from the time Bill supervised the sourcing of these clones - until the last one was finally delivered to Picardy from quarantine in 2011.

2022 PANNELL FAMILY PINOT NOIR

The Pannell Family Pinot Noir is the value selection from Picardy Wines. Eagerly hunted by those in the know, this is a label that can exceed even the loftiest of expectations, particularly in a strong vintage like 2022. Opening up with beautiful floral notes and summer fruits, with bright, slightly candied cherries, earthy undertones and a hint of five spice driving the palate. The quality of tannins, balance of the wine and purity of fruit are impeccable at this price point: often a difficult one at which to find quality Pinot Noir. Very much a serious wine in itself, and a brilliant introduction to the forthcoming 2022 reds.

Cherry and dark chocolate with hints of truffles. Concentrated dark berry flavours mingle on the palate, with elegant oak spice and fine tannins and earthiness with a lengthy savoury finish. Consistent rain over Winter and Spring recharged the ground water as a result the vineyard was not watered leading up to the 2022 harvest. This has allowed for even healthy growth. Fruit set was moderate which led to less than average yields across all varieties.

The wine was pressed to 40% new and 60% older French Oak barriques for malolactic fermentation and maturation. Once oak integration was achieved, the wine was blended and filtered before bottling. Tasting notes: Aromatics of crushed black cherry and cranberry with hints of earthiness. On the palate you'll find concentrated flavours of black cherry and Satsuma plum.

SMITHBROOK

2022 SINGLE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR

Smithbrook wines capture the essence of what the beautiful Pemberton region has to offer. This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir shows red cherry, strawberry, and earthy forest floor. The palate is graceful and long, combining toasted spice and wild berry nuances alongside silky fine tannins. The fruit was very carefully and selectively hand-picked and sorted, then destemmed into an open fermenter, including 20% whole bunches for complexity and texture. Following a short cold soak, before ferment kicked off, the wine was tasted daily and plunged as required for 14 days then matured for eight months in new (25%) and one-year-old French barriques. ​Tasting notes: This Pinot Noir showcases a pale garnet hue with vibrant ruby undertones. The complex and lifted aroma bursts with intense varietal character, revealing notes of black tar, dried florals, blue fruits, red liquorice, and a hint of orange peel. On the palate, it delivers dense, ripe fruit with impressive weight and volume, leaving a powerful and memorable impression.

2023 PINOT NOIR

2023 marks our sixth vintage of making Pinot Noir. This year marks the second consecutive vintage sourcing fruit from the same vineyard in the Pemberton area within the Southern Forest region. This Pinot Noir is a conferment of two clones – 114 and 115. Over the six vintage we have been fortunate to work with a number of Pinot Noir clones and after a couple of years of understanding 114 and 115 we feel the Aristotle phrase, ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ applies here with the 114 providing the aromatic line and the 115 providing the structure to combine and produce a delicate and joyful expression of Pinot Noir in a bright and lifted style.

PET NAT SPARKLING ROSE PINOT NOIR BRACHETTO

Get ready to indulge in a delightful fusion of flavours with this unique blend of Pinot Noir and Brachetto. This vegan-friendly, artisanal sparkling wine is handmade with love, offering a vibrant burst of strawberry and watermelon notes that will make your taste buds sing. Brachetto, an aromatic red grape variety from Italy, adds a subtle sweetness and distinctive berry character to the blend, enhancing its overall charm.

Once bottled, the fermentation continues, resulting in a subtly sparkling wine that perfectly captures the essence of Pet Nat styles. This limited-edition gem is not only delightful but also just leans ever so slightly toward the sweeter side, delivering a cascade of red-fruited richness.

WOODGATE WINES

2017 BOJANGLES RESERVE BRUT CUVEE

Crafted from 100% hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the pristine Pemberton region, Woodgate’s Bojangles Sparkling is a stunning example of traditional sparkling winemaking. This exquisite cuvée undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and is aged on yeast lees for a minimum of five years, a meticulous process that imparts exceptional complexity and character to the wine. On the nose, you’ll be greeted by an enticing blend of zesty citrus and the warm aromas of freshly baked brioche, creating an inviting profile that draws you in. The palate is fresh and vibrant, showcasing lively mineral acidity that balances a creamy texture, making each sip a delightful experience. Notes of toasted brioche add an elegant and sophisticated touch, enhancing the wine’s overall allure. This sparkling wine is perfect as an accompaniment to rich and creamy dishes, where its bright acidity cuts through and elevates the flavours. Additionally, it serves as a delightful palate cleanser, making it a versatile choice for any celebration or gathering. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a meal, the Woodgate Wines Bojangles Sparkling is a fantastic way of enjoying some bubbles. Cellar Door RRP: $50.00 Available at: Manjimup BottleMart or online.
