Overview
Overview
Penfolds Cellar Reserve wines are alternative, limited release wines that explore the innovative boundaries of viticulture, vinification and style. Penfolds Cellar Reserve Pinot Noir is sourced from two vineyards in Tasmania, the Whitehills vineyard in the Tamar Valley and a grower property in the Coal River Valley region. First made in 1997 at Magill Estate, the sourcing was originally 100% Adelaide Hills. Today, our winemakers are delighted to champion the cool climate vineyards of Tasmania. This wine was made in open fermenters with 37% whole bunch inclusion.

Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
A kaleidoscope of exotic fruits, herbs and spice. First detected, fresh cranberry and wild strawberry. Underlying notes of earth, funk, spice and stalk – balanced. Wafts of dried herb rise above. A nose that speaks of varietal and place. Hedonistic.
Flavours and Palate
Neat as a pin. Whole bunch tannins keep everything in place. Layered complexity. Yin and yang. Strawberries provide sweetness while hints of tomato leaf and juniper berry impart a savoury edge. Charcuterie board flavours vie for attention. Jamón Ibérico, confit duck, caperberries, Ligurian olives. Beautifully balanced, beckons.

South Australia
Home to the oldest vines in the country, and no less than 18 wine growing regions, South Australia accounts for almost 50% of Australia’s wine production. The Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Coonawarra are well known for their world class reds, with Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley and Eden Valley praised for their exceptional Chardonnay and Riesling.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Northern Tasmania's growing season was dry and warm. Access to water was important to reduce vine stress. Harvest was two weeks earlier than usual, pushed forward by the warm conditions, yields were good despite the lack of rain. Pinot Noir enjoyed a standout year with excellent varietal flavours, tannins and refreshing acidity.
The Penfolds Team
Key to the success of Penfolds has been a lineage of visionary winemakers. There have only ever been four Chief Winemakers at the helm of Penfolds – Max Schubert, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, each a custodian of a rich winemaking tradition that goes back for more than 170 years.
Our current Penfolds winemaking team has more than 100 years between them as Penfolds winemakers. They are constantly refining and improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors.
