River Retreat Pinot Noir is crafted by Trentham Estate, located in the Mildura region of Victoria, Australia, known for its warm climate and sandy soils that impart distinct characteristics to the wine. The Pinot Noir grapes are carefully harvested and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrels, which enhances the wine’s depth and complexity. River Retreat Pinot Noir is also part of Trentham Estate’s sustainability initiative, where a portion of the profits supports the conservation of local wetlands.
