Tropo Pinot Noir 2024
The Wine
Absolutely fantastic example of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir despite the tiny yields. We were lucky enough to have a puncheon that was empty so a portion of this has spent some time in some used French Oak - lucky us! It's produced a wine that really speaks to this variety in the hills - bright and beautifully primary fruited.
Lovely earthy, porcini mushroom aromatics, backed up by bright raspberry and blackberry bramble, with a beautiful Chinese five-spice lift. It's glorious drinking - it's a mixed berry bash, with vibrant black cherry and some pomegranate freshness. Textbook Pinot from our backyard that is effortlessly drinkable. Team Tropo

About the Wine Maker 
Never ones to stand still Brendan & Laura Carter of Unico Zelo decided to launch Tropo, a collection of wines that taste exactly how they look. Fun, contemporary ’throw the bottles on top of ice’ styles that are uncomplicated and do we dare say ’smashable’? wines. I think they would approve. This year’s releases all hail from Adelaide Hills from growers they have known and worked with for many years as part of their former Harvest co-op concept, so the connections and relationships continue to this new brand. Little Red, Big Red, Blanc de Blanc Sparkling, Pink Pet Nat and Pinot Noir make up this exciting range that offers eyebrow raising value vs the quality in the bottle, something the Carter’s have kept striving for since inception with all their wines and we love them for it. Wine for the people? Cheers to that.
