Harewood Estate Denmark Pinot Noir 2024

Elegant ~ Aromatic ~ Savoury

Arguably Western Australia’s best Pinot Noir under $30! With wine critics all agreeing this is a great drop!

Crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir clones (Grape’s personality), this wine reflects the diversity and finesse of Harewood’s two vineyards in the Denmark subregion. The original Harewood vineyard (planted in 1988) brings warmth and ripe fruit expression, while the higher altitude Apricus Hill vineyard (planted in 1995) adds cool-climate drive, mineral precision, and lifted aromatics. Unfined and unfiltered at bottling, the 2024 release captures the subtle nuance and charm of cool-climate Pinot Noir—vibrant, fruit-driven, and effortlessly expressive.

Why You’ll Love It ❤️

  • 🍒 Fruit & savoury interplay – red cherries, forest floor, and spice with fine tannin structure
  • 🌿 Cool-climate elegance – maritime influence ensures freshness, brightness, and length
  • 🍷 Authentic expression – bottled unfined and unfiltered for purity and nuance
  • 🏔 Dual vineyard character – the generosity of Harewood balanced by the precision of Apricus Hill
  • 🏆 Critically acclaimed – 92 Points (Wine Companion & Winepilot)

Accolades 🏆

92 Points – Winepilot
“West Aussie Pinot has grown from a curiosity to a serious example of this great grape… Denmark has established itself at the forefront of this movement. A garnet/pale crimson hue, this is quite a savoury style of Pinot and a most welcome one. Notes of leather, undergrowth, mushrooms, red cherries and a touch of nutmeg oak. On the palate, we move more to the red cherry end of the spectrum. This is well crafted and neatly balanced, with good acidity and impressive length. Enjoy for the next six years.”

92 Points – Wine Companion
“A swishy, silky, lithe pinot noir with perky, red berry fruitiness, a good dose of cinnamon and nutmeg spice, some fine, herbal lift and a little pumice-stone texture to tannin. It’s pretty and lively; a gentle but accessible red that delivers detail in dexterity and filigree of the wine. A super pleasing drink.”

Tasting Notes 🍇

  • Colour: Garnet with pale crimson hues
  • Aromatics: Red cherry, leather, mushroom, undergrowth, and nutmeg spice, lifted with herbal notes
  • Palate: Soft and silky, with red berry fruit, savoury spice, and earthy complexity. Fine acidity gives focus, while pumice-like tannins add subtle grip to a long, elegant finish.

Winemaker’s Note

“This Pinot Noir is about balance—capturing both the generosity of our Harewood vineyard and the precision of Apricus Hill. The result is a fruit-driven, savoury and aromatic Pinot that reflects the very best of Denmark’s cool-climate terroir.”

Learn About Harewood Estate

Harewood Estate Vineyards
Denmark:
400km south of Perth, you’ll find our home, estate block and winery. Driving in, there’s a series of steep hills and valleys before you emerge onto the rolling slopes of the vineyard and eventually, the Southern Ocean.

It’s a pristine place, long cool summer days and ‘mean’ gravelly soils that slowly ripen the grapes to produce wines of intense flavours.

Frankland River:
Ask around, Frankland River produces some of the best Shiraz in Australia. The climate here is Mediterranean – dry and sunny – and results in wines of hefty weight and complexity.

The river valley has a crucial role, funnelling cool and humid air north from the ocean moderating the afternoon heat to provide a long, slow ripening period for grapes.

Mount Barker:
Mount Barker is the birthplace of the Great Southern. It was here in 1955 that the pioneering American viticulturalist Harold Olmo recommended growing grapes for European-style table wines.

Despite its lofty name, Mount Barker is largely dry, open grazing country with scattered vineyards, but it was the gravelly soil conditions that Olmo likened to Bordeaux, in France.

Porongurup:
The feel of Porongurup is quite different from neighbouring Mount Barker.

Great stands of towering Eucalypt forest and a massive series of rounded granite knobs give way to sweeping views out over the Porongurup Ranges.

This elevated vineyard produces crisp, cool-climate wines on granite soils.

James Kellie – Winemaker

I was fortunate to land my dream winemaking job at the renowned Howard Park, in the Great Southern. The plan at that stage was to hone my skills, learn as much as I could and move to Tasmania; 15 years later we’re still here.

In 1998, whilst at Howard Park, I started making wine on contract for Harewood and in 2003 my family and I took the plunge to purchase Harewood Estate. It was a nerve-racking time, we decided to build a 300 tonne winery and were up to our necks. I knew it was ambitious, but we were making a serious commitment to develop sub-regional wines that showcased the variety of the Great Southern.

Hard work is paying off; the winery has grown to 500 tonnes and we’ve received 31 national and international Trophies, hundreds of medals and the coveted 5 Red Star Rating from influential wine critic James Halliday which is awarded to the top 5% of Australian wineries for “a consistent record of excellence”.

The aim of Harewood Estate hasn’t changed: grapes are grown in select, low yielding vineyards to create wines that represent the best the region has to offer.

Awards

For 17 consecutive years, Harewood Estate has received 5 stars from James Halliday – Australia’s most influential wine critic – for “wines of exemplary quality and typicity”.

We have been awarded the elusive Five Red Stars for a “consistent record of excellence” since its introduction in 2006.

More than anything else, these awards are a testament to the quality of wine grapes grown throughout the Great Southern region.
