About the wine
Elegant, plush Pinot from a master of the grape
- Picked at the perfect moment from a vineyard at the top end of the Kiewa River Valley, high up in the cool climate Alpine wine region. A perfect vintage, well crafted and matured in freshly toasted French oak barrels, coopered locally.
- An elegant wine with loads of red fruit and cinnamon and some violets in the background. Plush and mouth watering to the last drop with a lengthy finish. If you have discipline, put a few bottles down to age and enjoy it well into the future.
- Good quality Pinot Noir from a legend like Phillip generally means a higher price, but thanks to the support of Naked Angels, we don’t need a distributor which would pump up the price. And Philip gets the freedom to do what he loves.
Best before
While quite approachable/easy drinking now, this Pinot Noir has the structure to last for many years. Optimum drinking would be in 5-6 to 8+ years when secondary characters are more evolved.
Serving advice
People speak of “room temperature” but what does that mean? It varies with time of year, location, environment and more. Ideally, this Pinot Noir should be served around 12 oC maximum, so don’t hesitate to put it in the refrigerator for a short while. Decanting this Pinot, particularly if drinking it as a young wine, will ensure that the wine will show more of itself.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Phillip Moraghan
Phillip left his corporate life to travel the world, working with world-class winemakers to learn how to make the best Pinot Noir he possibly could.
For 18 years, he lovingly tended his grapes, crafted stunning wines and built up a Halliday 5-star winery, making arguably one of the country's finest Pinot Noir wines.
When he found himself having to start from the ground up again, he sourced premium fruit from one of the best vineyards in the Yarra Valley, borrowed Sam Plunkett’s sheds, and is crafting his exquisite Pinot Noir once again. But only for us!
