Pfeiffer Wines

Pfeiffer Wines is a family owned and operated winery, located within the historic Rutherglen region. In the 1880’s Rutherglen was producing approximately a third of all wine in Australia, and in 1878 an All Saints wine wins Australia’s first international gold medal at the Paris Exhibition and the Rutherglen region was off and running.

In 1984 Chris and Robyn Pfeiffer purchase the winery from Seppelts and have restored and ressurected it to its former glory.

Chris and Robyn’s daugher Jen is now the chief winemaker, and is seriously good. She makes some stunning red wines which are probably some of the best value in the country.


This quote sums up how good Pfeiffers wines and Jen’s winemaking is:

“Jen has amassed over 300 medals and 12 trophies for Pfeiffer Wines in the past decade she has worked for the winery, plus had her wines nominated twice for export wine of the year.”


These are seriously worth a try.

Product Details

Description

Simspsons' describe this as This Great British Classic Method Blanc de Noirs exemplifies English finesse and balance and is created from exclusively estate grown Pinot Noir Clone 115, hand-picked from our vineyards situated on the iconic chalk slopes of the North Downs of Kent.

Harvesting & Vinification: Grapes from Pinot Noir Clone 115 were hand-picked over a five day period. We use this particular clone to create a more full-bodied style owing to a slight accentuation of tannins, developing into a more luxurious mouth-feel.

Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: The base wine underwent malolactic fermentation and spent three months in tank ageing on light lees. After a series of tastings, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled to obtain the ‘prise de mousse’. Following the bottle fermentation, the wine spent twenty-seven months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement, followed by four months ageing under cork, prior to release in November 2021.

Tasting

With a golden hue and a fine, persistent bead, this wine has a luxurious, vanilla and fine pastry nose. On the palate it is elegant and poised, with poached pear and generous red fruit flavours perfectly married with hints of almond croissant and wonderful savoury nuances. It is bone dry and has a smooth, elegant finish.

Food Pairings

Serve with appetisers, such as smoked salmon bellini or shellfish.

Ageing

Cellaring Potential: Drink through to 2025, or potentially longer, depending upon cellaring.
