Tasting Notes:

The 2023 Harewood Estate F-Block Pinot Noir presents a light crimson hue with a hint of purple. The nose is intense, revealing aromas of black cherry, dark fruits, and subtle notes of liquorice and spice. On the palate, the wine showcases flavours of ripe blackberry and plum, complemented by deeper layers of spice and aniseed. The mid-palate is rich and smooth, while the finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of black cherry, coffee bean, and toasty French oak. The wine’s velvety tannins and delicate structure make it a beautiful example of cool-climate Pinot Noir.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

Roast Duck: The richness of roast duck with a berry glaze is a perfect match for the Pinot Noir’s dark fruit and spice notes.
Grilled Salmon: A lighter yet elegant pairing, the wine’s complexity enhances the natural flavours of grilled salmon.
Mushroom Risotto: The earthy notes of mushrooms pair wonderfully with the wine’s complexity and smooth finish.
Soft Cheeses: Enjoy with creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, where the wine’s velvety texture complements the cheese’s richness.
Charcuterie: A charcuterie board with cured meats and pickled vegetables will highlight the wine’s fruit and spice profile.

Use a standard decanter to allow the wine to breathe and soften, enhancing the overall experience. For older vintages, 30 minutes in a decanter can help remove any sediment and promote a smoother profile.

The 2023 Harewood Estate F-Block Pinot Noir is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the elegance and complexity of cool-climate Pinot Noir. Whether you’re enjoying it now or allowing it to age, this wine will surely impress with its depth, structure, and character.

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.
