Award-winning winery Marnong Estate has introduced its new vintage red wines, celebrating the Estate’s distinctive cool climate characteristics. Central to this collection is the debut of the 2024 Reserve Pinot Noir, a milestone wine that sets a new benchmark for the Estate’s luxury offering following the release of the 2022 Reserve Blanc de Blancs in late 2025.

Situated in one of Victoria’s oldest wine districts, Marnong Estate’s unique location in the Sunbury region is renowned for producing distinctive wines. Marnong Estate offers a three-tier premium wine range – from the approachable Estate range to the super premium Single Vineyard collection and new luxurious Reserve options, offering a wine for every occasion.

This season’s reds lineup also features an expanded selection of Single Vineyard wines – including two 2025 Pinot Noir’s (Heart and Weatherstone, sourced from the Marnong Estate’s most central and elevated vineyards respectively), as well as a 2025 Shiraz, Sangiovese and Montepulciano to round out the range – released alongside a 2025 Pinot Noir and Shiraz from the Estate range, offering wines that are fragrant and intriguing.

“This new collection of premium reds represents the evolution of Marnong Estate – with each bottle reflecting the unique soil, climate and growing conditions of the Sunbury region, while also being a testament to the Estate’s distinctive cool climate terroir. Being able to share our 2024 Reserve Pinot Noir with the wine community for the first time is a highlight of the season, with our Reserve range crafted only in outstanding years to deliver wines that are both intricate and age worthy,” said Marnong Estate Director of Wine, Alex Beckett.

These wines are perfectly paried with hearty slow-cooked dishes, warming winter roasts, and Italian-inspired fare, balancing both an elegance and approachability that make them ideal forsipping with your favourite comfort food. Each wine offers its own character and charm, perfect as both stand-alone sips and paired with a wide variety of seasonal dishes.
