Description
Finding good-value Pinot Noir made by artisan producers is a difficult thing.
Pinot's delicate nature means it needs to be nursed to bottle. That extra care takes time and money, hence the soaring price of the best examples in the country. We've done the hunting for you to get you six of the best value examples that we could find at a very good price. A no-brainer pack for the Pinotphiles out there.
- 2023 Gilbert Pinot Noir
- 2025 Dr Edge Pinot Rain Pinot Noir

- 2024 Denton Shed Pinot Noir
- 2024 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir

2023 Gilbert Pinot Noir
Will Gilbert is back at it again, turning out another belter with this elegant, spicy Pinot Noir from the cool climate vineyards of Orange. Taking full advantage of the volcanic soils and high altitude of the region, this is a perfect drop for those easy-going nights when you just want a solid, delicious red without too much fuss.
With cherries and red berries upfront, a dusting of spice, and those earthy, wet-leaf notes that make Pinot fans weak at the knees, this wine is the perfect answer when that itch for Pinot strikes. A touch of creamy, spiced oak brings it all together, while the finish is clean, with a delicate hint of orange zest that keeps you coming back for more.
Will is one of the most exciting young winemakers in the country (and he’s got the awards to prove it), so you know you’re in good hands. And at this price? It’s an absolute steal for everyday drinking. If you like your Pinots light on the ego but heavy on the flavour, this is the one to pop open.

"Red cherry, strawberry, quite a lot of peppery spice, red capsicum, some mint and amaro quality. It’s light to medium-bodied, frisky and fresh, kind of sappy too, but it pops with energy, all that ripe strawberry and spice, a lick of dusty graphite tannin, with a juicy blood orange and fennel-laced finish of excellent length. So vital and refreshing. It’s different, but so very good to drink. And plus one point for that!"
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
2025 Dr Edge Pinot Rain Pinot Noir
Bright, gluggable Pinot Noir from the master with the medical license (not really!), Dr Edge.
With Tassie Pinot prices soaring, we thank Peter Dredge for creating a "vin de soif" style Pinot Noir that brings all the goodness of Tasmanian vineyards without the hefty price tag.
Deliciously red-fruited and easygoing, it's a wine that's ready to go whenever you are. Pop it in the fridge for a minute before serving if you want, drink it in the Purple Rain with your favourite frog or Prince.
Another glass of Pinot Noir goodness from our favourite Tassie Doctor.
2024 Mulline Pinot Noir
Ben Mullen has a way with Pinot Noir, and this is his most approachable expression at an unbeatable price. Sourced from four carefully chosen vineyards across Geelong, it’s a seamless showcase of the region’s energy and elegance—a Pinot bursting with bright fruit, spice, and sheer drinkability.
Since launching Mulline Vintners in 2018 with business partner Ben Hine, Mullen has been rewriting the script for Geelong wine. By working closely with top growers and keeping his operation small as essentially a one-man-winemaking-band, he’s producing some of the most exciting wines in Victoria today.
This Pinot Noir is a riot of aromatics—wild cherry, raspberry, and cranberry leap from the glass, laced with hints of white pepper, dried herbs, and subtle earthy spice from a judicious 20% whole-bunch fermentation. The palate is pure pleasure: silky, fresh, and alive with mouth-watering acidity. This is the best value Pinot that's come out of Ben's winery to date.
A Pinot that’s as serious as it is fun, the 2024 Mulline is best enjoyed slightly chilled, poured generously, and shared with good company. No overthinking required—just revel in its deliciousness.

"Gosh this is an attractive wine... Fruit and florals are the drivers but then the extras are tucked within... There’s fabulous drinking to be had here."

"The energetic palate is light to medium bodied with the wine's fine-grained tannins and bright acidity making for a delicious and refreshing mouthful. Good, nay, great now and over the next 3–4 years."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
2024 Denton Shed Pinot Noir
The 2024 Denton Shed Pinot Noir is everything you want from a Yarra Pinot at this price - bright, easy to drink, and quietly serious underneath.
Made from fruit grown on the granite soils of Denton’s View Hill vineyard, this year’s wine brings together the freshness of the lower Block 6 with some extra lift from the close-planted Block 4 up top.
The season wasn’t exactly a breeze. A soggy spring and early summer meant plenty of work in the vineyard, but things turned fast - February and March brought dry, warm days and cool nights, which helped the fruit ripen in a tight window and hold onto its natural acidity.
It’s a wine that walks the line between lightness and shape, made with 10% whole bunch, wild fermented, and matured in mostly old oak for nine months. Bottled without fining or filtering, it keeps the vibrancy of the fruit front and centre.
2024 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir
This is the wine that kicked it all off for Ricky Evans, and after 13 vintages, it just keeps getting better. A true snapshot of the Tamar Valley, TMV Pinot blends fruit from Ricky’s own vineyards with a couple of trusted growers, delivering a cracking Pinot that’s both effortless and detailed.
Think bright red berries—raspberry, wild strawberry, a bit of cranberry—wrapped up in fine, chalky tannins with a flicker of spice. There’s just enough whole bunch (10%) to add a little lift, and a stint in old barriques (only 10% new) keeps everything fresh, juicy, and dangerously easy to drink.
Pure Tassie Pinot pleasure—made to be opened, enjoyed, and probably finished faster than you planned. Stocks are always tight, so don’t sit on your hands.
2025 Garagiste Le Stagiaire Pinot Noir
Barney Flanders loves Pinot Noir, and every release of the value-packed Le Stagiaire Pinot Noir seems to out do the previous one. It has been one of the most popular wines in Different Drop history.
Winemaker Barney Flanders, known for his dedication to Pinot, blends fruit from several of his top vineyards, with Merricks North’s 30-year-old Dijon clones adding plushness and floral lift to the structured MV6 clones from Balnarring, Red Hill, and Merricks Grove.
Crafted with a gentle touch, this wine goes through wild fermentation with minimal whole bunches, 21 days on skins, and careful ageing in concrete, large foudre, and old oak barrels. It’s bottled unfined and unfiltered, keeping every bit of its savoury complexity and purity intact. The result is a beautifully balanced Pinot, layered with red berries, spice, and an earthy edge, all tied together by a refreshing mineral streak.
Simply put this wine represents the essence of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir. Value for money wise, this is an Australian Pinot Noir star.
