Tasting Notes
NOSE
Fragrant red cherry and wild raspberry, with delicate florals and a gentle lift of spice.
PALATE
Light and silky, with fresh red berries, fine tannins and lively acidity. Subtle savoury notes lead to a long, elegant finish.

THE LABEL
My grandson Finn was eight when he drew Forty Faces. Rediscovering his sketch years later, I couldn’t resist adding some colour, though staying within the lines wasn’t always my strength! His imagination and my colouring now grace our 2025 Faces Pinot Noir, grown on our Mornington Peninsula estate. I hope the wine and its label bring you a smile.
THE WINE
Pommard clone Pinot Noir from the 43 year old Crittenden Home Vineyard, which Garry planted himself in 1982. Hand picked in early March 2025, one of Victoria's best vintages this century. Mostly whole bunch, wild fermented and aged 11 months in new and older French oak. Only one barrel was bottled under this label.
VINTAGE
The 2025 season stands among Victoria’s best this century. Calm dry weather during flowering delivered ample fruit set; a rare treat compared to that of recent years. Summer then brought ideal conditions: moderate rain, no extreme heat, and steady ripening that preserved acidity, built structure, and intensified flavour. A truly exceptional vintage for whites and reds alike.
Best paired with
- Roast duck with blood plums and star anise
- Wild mushroom and gruyère tart
- Grilled salmon with beetroot and dill
