Are You Game? is a fun and bright Pinot Noir with exciting, distinctive aromas of vibrant red cherry, clove and crushed mint leaf. These vivid aromas become more subtle and savoury in the mouth, with leather, rising bread dough and baking spices. Fresh, balanced and with gentle, nicely filled-out texture, this is a lovely wine with good sustain on the finish. Great with…um…duck. Located in the dramatic, high-altitude, granite landscape of Strathbogie Ranges, Victoria, the Fowles family crafts some of Australia’s finest cool-climate wines. The region is characterised by massive granite boulders that have given rise to nutrient-poor sandy loam soils which produce fruit with great intensity.

Good to know

  • Use a sparkling wine stopper to keep an opened bottle of fizz for a day or two.
  • Recork and refrigerate an opened red; most keep for two to three days.
  • A pale colour is normal for Pinot Noir and not a sign of a weak wine.

Common questions

Is Pinot Noir light or full bodied?

Usually light to medium bodied, with soft tannins. Wines from warmer regions such as California or Central Otago can be riper and fuller than Burgundy.

What does Blanc de Noirs mean?

It is a white sparkling wine, usually Champagne, made only from black grapes such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The juice is pressed off the skins quickly so it stays pale.
