Gidley Pinot Noir Gin is a celebration of the collaboration between King Island Distillery Bass Strait and Beautiful Isle Wines. Distilled using our signature Gidley Dry Gin recipe and steeped with hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes from Beautiful Isle Wines, this limited release delivers a vivid hue, velvety mouthfeel and elegant balance of juniper, citrus and soft berry notes.
To highlight its versatility, we’ve created three distinctive serves — each capturing a different expression of the island spirit.
Crimson Tide
Elegant, textural and perfectly balanced — the ideal pre-dinner serve.
Ingredients:
• 50ml Gidley Pinot Noir Gin
• 10ml King Island Limoncello
• 20ml Fresh Lemon Juice
• 10ml Sugar Syrup
• 20ml Aquafaba (or 1 egg white)
Method:
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a coupette glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
A silky, sunset-hued cocktail with bright citrus notes and a creamy finish — reminiscent of the King Island horizon at dusk.
Island Fizz
Light, refreshing and effortlessly coastal — perfect for warm afternoons.
Ingredients:
• 50ml Gidley Pinot Noir Gin
• 10ml Aperol
• 60ml Prosecco
• 30ml Soda
Method:
Build all ingredients into a wine glass, adding ice last so the flavours blend gently. Garnish with a fresh sage leaf.
Bright, sparkling and aromatic — a coastal spritz inspired by the island breeze.
Noir Nightcap
Smooth, rich and refined — the perfect evening companion.
Ingredients:
• 55ml Gidley Pinot Noir Gin
• 5ml Frangelico
• 10ml Sweet Vermouth
• 1 Dash Angostura Bitters
Method:
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass and stir for 10 seconds. Gently strain into a Nick and Nora glass and garnish with an orange twist.
Darkly smooth and subtly nutty, this after-dinner serve lingers like the warmth of a King Island night by the fire.
