About Us

Pinot NOW is a small specialist importer to Australia of rare pinot varietal wines – pinot noir, pinot gris and so on from the New and Old World. The range is based upon the famous, elusive pinots from Oregon in the United States – wines of wonderful poise, concentration and elegance. From this base, we are also dealing with great wines from the other pinot hot spots; Burgundy, Australia, & New Zealand. Shipped in small volumes, these are exciting and exclusive wines.

Founded in 2000, Pinot NOW was the brainchild of Steven Naughton and Graeme Simsion: two escapees from the Information Technology industry whose passion for fine wine – Pinot Noir in particular – lured them from the financial security and stability of the corporate world, to the romantic roller-coaster ride that is the wine industry. 

Today our portfolio is tended by Steven and his wife Regina, who have lost none of the passion that first led them, all those years ago, on their journey of pinot discovery. Nor have they lost any of their desire to share their discoveries with like-minded enthusiasts.
