It belongs alongside slow, savoury things - wild mushrooms, a shard of aged parmesan. A wine for when the table lingers.

Wine Details

The joy of Pinot Noir is its quiet refinement over time. As the vineyard continues to settle into itself, the 2024 vintage speaks with greater clarity — a wine that feels seamlessly composed, each element laced together with intent.

This is Tom’s Block in a more aristocratic frame.

There’s a lovely core of fruit here — summer berries and dark cherry — layered with lifted violet aromatics, a hint of peat, and notes of pink pepper, wild herbs and a gentle savoury edge. Fruit leads, but never overwhelms, allowing structure and nuance to carry the wine forward.

Thoughtful oak integration frames rather than shapes, guiding the wine into a long, graceful finish. Harmonious, restrained, and quietly bold — classic Moutere, classic Tom’s.

"A layered, vertical nose with smoky oak enclosing a core of red fruit. A whiff of something herbal. Plush and concentrated on the palate with a burst of acidity and woody tannins which wrap around the tongue. The melting coulis of fruit in the core is hidden under oak at the moment, but will be accessible in a year or two. Not a wine which needs a long slumber in the cellar as it is quite generous."
