Australian Pinot Noir: cool climate charm

Hall 6, Stand E033
10:30 - 11:00
11 February 2026

Pinot Noir is one of the hardest grapes to grow, but producers in Australia’s cooler climates have mastered the art – and it’s never been better. The variety has a long history in Australia, arriving in the early 1800s, however only recently Aussie Pinot Noir has captured the attention of the wine world.  Find out more about these elegant, silky and perfumed wines, made in Australia’s cool climate spots at elevation or with cooling sea breezes. Explore key regions and stylistic differences, and hear about the influence of clones and the pursuit of perfect Pinot Noir. The masterclass features Pinot Noir from Adelaide Hills, Mornington Peninsula, Limestone Coast and Tasmania. With Pinot plantings increasing, and Australia’s established regions producing more consistent and ever-improving wines, the future is bright for Australian Pinot Noir.
