Pomarium, Latin for “apple orchard”, is a reference to the vineyard’s history as a fruit orchard, planted to Bartlett pears and Gravenstein apples. Many of these 100-year-old trees surround the vineyards to this day.

This farming heritage is an important connection to the Pomarium blend. Made from a selection of core Pinot Noir clones and blocks that emphasize dark fruit and earthy flavours, with high tone floral incense aromas. This offers a broad canvas and a balanced tension to the wine that makes it so unique. Pomarium continues to delight with each vintage, all showing incredible complexity and nuance.

“Youthful ruby with a hint of light magenta, on the nose, the 2022 Pinot Noir Pomarium offers bright pomegranate lift, fresh pine needles, minty herbs, dried flowers, and a hint of licorice. It reveals vibrant tension and deeper concentration on the palate, with a long, earthy finish and notes of tea leaf. Its ripe tannins have a chiseled but elegant feel, and it’s fantastically sculpted. Drink 2026-2046.”

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Pomarium is fabulous. Broad, ample and resonant, the Pomarium shows the more extroverted side of the year. Black fruit, mocha, chocolate, incense, leather and dark spice soar out of the glass. This potent, brooding Pinot Noir packs a tremendous punch. It's the most extroverted Pinot in the Peay range and is absolutely fantastic in this tasting.”
