About this wine

The Ad Hoc Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir is an exceptional example of the complexity and elegance that Western Australia's cool-climate regions can offer. Sourced from select vineyards, this wine delivers a beautiful balance of fruit, spice, and subtle oak influence, creating a Pinot Noir that's both charming and full of character.

Expect a bouquet of red berries, with vibrant cherry and raspberry notes on the nose, accompanied by hints of earthy spice. The palate is silky smooth, showcasing layers of ripe strawberry, plum, and subtle savoury nuances. A delicate touch of oak rounds out the profile, giving the wine impressive depth and structure while maintaining its elegance. The finish is long and satisfying, with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity.

Crafted by Larry Cherubino, a master of Western Australia's terroirs, this Pinot Noir is sourced from select vineyards in the cool-climate Great Southern region. Larry's extensive experience and relationships with local growers ensure that each bottle is a true reflection of the land. Serve slightly chilled at 12–14°C with grilled salmon, roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a charcuterie board.
