Xavier PAPA Pinot Noir 2025

Xavier PAPA Pinot Noir 2025 is a bright, youthful expression from Xavier Goodridge, crafted in a light, energetic style that places freshness and drinkability at the forefront. Fragrant red fruit, delicate florals and subtle savoury complexity make this an approachable Pinot Noir that is equally appealing served lightly chilled.

Appearance:

Translucent ruby red with bright crimson highlights and a youthful, delicate rim.

Aroma:

Perfumed aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry and tart cherry are layered with rose petal, hibiscus and subtle earthy notes. Gentle spice and a touch of forest-floor savouriness add complexity.

Taste:

Light-bodied and energetic, with juicy red cherry, raspberry and cranberry supported by fresh acidity and fine, supple tannins. Subtle savoury notes and gentle spice provide definition without diminishing the wine’s vibrant fruit character.

Finish:

Fresh and moreish, with lingering red berries, florals and a delicate savoury edge.

Food Pairing:

Ideal lightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon, pork schnitzel, mushroom dishes, wood-fired pizza or soft cheeses.
