2026 Mr Smith Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

The 2026 Mr Smith Pinot Noir is an elegant and expressive cool-climate Pinot Noir from Victoria's renowned Yarra Valley, showcasing vibrant berry fruit, savoury complexity and refined structure.

Produced in a challenging, frost-affected vintage that significantly reduced yields across the Yarra Valley, this wine captures the concentration and distinctive character of the cooler growing season.

The nose opens with fragrant red berries and a gentle sweet note, while the palate reveals ripe summer berries, cherry and raspberry, complemented by wild herbs, forest floor and delicate spice. The fruit is generous yet beautifully balanced, with a savoury undertone and a structured, persistent finish.

Fermented with 23 days of skin contact and partially matured in French oak barrels, the wine displays impressive depth and texture while retaining the freshness and elegance expected of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir.

Crafted by an accomplished winemaker whose identity remains undisclosed, this small-production release offers a compelling expression of regional character, combining bright fruit, savoury complexity and excellent drinkability.
