2021 Red Claw Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir
An Approachable Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir — Bright, Cherry-Driven and Honest
Red Claw is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most reliable producers — a project from the Yabby Lake team that delivers genuine cool-climate character at an accessible price point. With intense complex aromas and great depth of character, Red Claw's no-nonsense approach to viticulture and winemaking is clearly visible in this vintage.
Tasting Notes
A fine long juicy palate with a persistent polished finish. Bursting with cherry and dark fruits. Pinot lovers will enter a love affair with this wine. Richly scented with a delicate red fruit spectrum and medium weight, this punches above its price point.
Food Pairing
A medium-bodied, cherry-driven Mornington Peninsula Pinot like this is at its best with refined poultry. We love it with The Bare Bird Premium Free Range Chicken Breast Fillet from My Meat Man — pan-seared with a cherry reduction, the chicken's clean character matches the wine's cherry-and-dark-fruit core beautifully, while the medium body and polished finish carry the dish with effortless balance. Equally good with duck, salmon, mushroom risotto or a charcuterie board.
Why This Is a Smart Buy
Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir at this price is rare. Red Claw delivers genuine cool-climate character, expressive cherry-and-dark-fruit aromatics, and a polished finish that punches well above its price tag. A reliable everyday Pinot from a benchmark producer.
