Lovely and bright Pinot Noir, with a nice balance of fruity and earthy hints. Aromas of red cherry and cranberry, with hints of earth and cedar brush. Light to medium bodied with medium+ acidity and just a hint of tannins. Fruit flavours are bright with a touch of woodsy, earthy hints. Enjoy with grilled vegetables and pork tenderloin.

Raise a forest with your glass of this Pinot Noir the winery says. They’re referring to their practice of planting a tree for every case they sell of their wines. Pinot Grigio is just one styles wines produced by this Australian company who describes their creations as vegan friendly, sustainable grown, and naturally lighter in alcohol. On the topic of lighter in alcohol, this Pinot Noir is 11.3% ABV, a few percentage points lower than some PGs available in Canada.
This creation shares familiar Pinot Noir flavours but they’re modest in energy rather than BIG and BOLD. There’s red cherry expressions and there’s savoury spiced ones, too. I sensed some rhubarb weaving through them in this silky, light bodied leaning Australian red. Match this with something earthy. Enjoy.

Tread Softly Pinot Noir 2024 , South Australia, Australia: Tread Softly Pinot Noir is an expressive red with lifted aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, accented by subtle notes of spice and soft earth. The palate is light to medium-bodied, dry, and silky, with lively acidity and 12.5 percent alcohol giving it a graceful, refreshing finish. Serve it just below room temperature to let its bright fruit and gentle spice unfold. The silky-smooth Pinot Noir is all about ripe cherries and subtle spice, with a lingering finish that stays with you long after the last drop.
I would pair it with duck breast seared until the skin is crackling crisp, then sliced thin to reveal a perfectly pink interior, served with a cherry reduction sauce that mirrors the wine’s fruit notes and a wild mushroom risotto that complements its earthy undertones.
Fascinating fact: Tread Softly embraces a philosophy of mindful, approachable winemaking, crafting wines that are easy to enjoy yet expressive of their Niagara terroir. Not only are Tread Softly wines certified sustainable and bottled in lightweight glass, but the winery also plants a tree for every case sold. So far, they have planted 2.5 million trees, the equivalent of taking 35,000 cars off the road.
A fascinating fact about Pinot Noir – it is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world, dating back more than 2,000 years. It is also one of the most genetically unstable grapes, which is why you find so many different clones and expressions of it around the world.
