Ghost Rock Clairdown Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2025
- Australia

A significant new chapter for Ghost Rock: the inaugural single-vineyard release from Clairdown, the estate’s original vineyard. Clairdown was established in 2004, with this wine coming from a younger parcel planted exclusively to clone 777. The vines occupy a gently north-facing slope within a sheltered section of the property, benefiting from long hours of sunlight while retaining the slow, even ripening conditions so important to fine Pinot Noir.
The inaugural 2025 release is immediately expressive. Ripe black cherry and wild strawberry rise from the glass, followed by subtle spice, woodland and earthy complexity. The palate is generous and beautifully composed, with dark cherry and plum carried by fine, velvety tannins and a bright seam of acidity. As the wine develops, the fruit gives way to more savoury characters - spice, forest floor and gently earthy tones - before a long, poised finish. There is richness here, certainly, but not heaviness. Clairdown combines ripe fruit with freshness and beautifully judged structure, making this an impressive first release from a vineyard that has been part of the Ghost Rock story from the very beginning.
We all loved their first introduction however, and being candid, their pricing for order #2 was daft. Whatever the reason, owner Justin, wanted to get his wines back on our shelves, and understood the ‘economical warning.’ As with our introductory offer (December 2020), the entire collection overdelivers on quality and value. In fact, and as time has passed, they are better. The entire collection is creative, delicious, filled with imagination and the single estate Pinots are all a serious proposition – they display nuance, balance, and a connection to Tasmania (Pinot Noir is sensitive to where it’s grown). Both fizzes sampled better than mid-level (priced) House of Arras…
