Chatto Killara Pinot Noir
In true Chatto style, this is Pinot that balances strength with nuance. It’s a blend of three clones: MV6 bringing the spice and herbal lift, D2V4 (Pommard) offering dark muscle and depth, and D5V12 adding ripe red fruit. The resulting wine has layers for days - savoury, detailed, and packed with that unmistakable Coal River generosity.
The palate is full and grounded, yet there’s an underlying grace here that keeps everything poised. A few years in the cellar will only heighten its charm - but good luck waiting that long.

"Ripe macerated plum and cherry fruits, jasmine and citrus blossom, exotic spice and amaro… pure and expressive, savoury and wonderfully balanced."

"Savory aromas of wild blackberries, cedar and dried herbs… medium-bodied with dark cherries, mulberry and a hint of oceanic saltiness."
