There’s not many people who can make me laugh quite like my father. My kid’s call him Pedro and he became the namesake of one of our finest & most loved wines, Pedro’s Paddock Pinot Noir. My wife told me I should tell you the story about Pedro’s…Wow, where to begin?

Ode to Pedro’s.

For those of you who are lucky enough to have spent time with my Dad, you would absolutely understand why we called our top-tier Pinot after him. Pedro is proud, complex, authentic and seriously fun. Become a member of our wale club and you’ll get to meet him at our annual long lunch and witness his candour.

Seriously though, I owe much of my winemaking and business head to Pedro. Each year, I draw on him, my mate, mentor and best friend, to help create something wonderful (that I hope he’s proud of). Ironically, the great man doesn’t drink so has never tasted Pedro’s himself!

‘Perhaps it’s Pedro’s honesty, transparency and tasty nature that makes a person feel a little more relaxed and focused on the fun side of life.’

Why this Pinot is our most loved wine.

Pedro’s Paddock Pinot Noir is our most detailed wine and purest form of its fruit. I took lots of time with this wine and crafted it with care to show its layers of fruit. We have enjoyed musing on why our customers connect so well with this wine. I truely feel that with Pedro’s, just like other Pinot Noirs, there is nowhere to hide from the moment it touches your taste buds.

The Pedro’s Pinot delivers ALL that we believe in at Corduroy. We are scrupulous with what we pick to make it (vineyard and barrel). We only select the best parcels. We look for expressive parcels to ensure we make a wine with integrity. Our final blend aims to be authentic, engaging and most importantly entertaining to the company you’re with and your palate.

Perhaps it’s Pedro’s honesty, transparency and tasty nature that makes people feel a little more relaxed and focused on the fun side of life.
