These are the original wines of Sherwood Estate and share the family name. They are the wines we have become known and respected for and we are proud to put our signature on them. We created the Sherwood range of wines to showcase the characteristics of Waipara Valley fruit.  They are premium, everyday wines, made in a ‘hands-off’ style with little interruption in the winery.

A juicy Pinot Noir with rich ripe fruit flavours of plum and blackberries. Subtle oak complexities lead to a beautifully rounded palate with a silky smooth finish.

Most of the blend is tipped into open-top fermentation tanks for preferment soak prior to the fermentation starting naturally with indigenous yeast, another portion is tank fermented with pump over, then a very small portion is kept as whole berries and sealed for carbonic maceration fermentation. Once the fermentations have finished, a partial micro-oxygenation is started which helps the wine to remain softer and rounder earlier.
