Winemaker Rob Diletti's wines have been on fire over recent vintages. I've tasted some stunning riesling releases from Castle Rock Estate - the winery his parents founded - and the 2024 pinot noirs are similarly impressive. The 2024 Castle Rock Estate ‘Diletti’ Pinot Noir was made with a combination of whole-bunch fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration and pigeage. What is much more important, however, is that is is disarmingly drinkable, even in its youth - a satisfying result from a vintage in the Great Southern region of West Australia that Diletti describes as "challenging". The final product is a very lively, bright-fruited pinot with impressive length and structure. Pair with grilled gourmet sausages. $55. www.castlerockestate.com.au
