Red Hill Estate has unveiled The Golden Glory, a limited-edition 2024 Pinot Noir created to mark 30 years since North Melbourne Football Club’s historic 1996 premiership win.
The commemorative drop pays tribute to one of the club’s most celebrated moments – its centenary premiership victory and the only time an AFL premiership cup was cast in gold.
The small batch release by the Mornington Peninsula-based producer is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir and designed as both a collector’s item for North Melbourne supporters and a premium cool-climate wine for Pinot lovers.
It follows Red Hill Estate’s appointment earlier this year as the official wine partner of North Melbourne across its AFL and AFLW programs.
The winery is now expanding the partnership through a product created specifically for supporters.
Red Hill Estate general manager Dominic Fabrizio said the release was designed to celebrate an important chapter in North Melbourne’s history in a unique way.
“This is a special release for both Red Hill Estate and North Melbourne supporters,” Fabrizio says.
“The 1996 premiership remains such an iconic moment in the club’s history, and we wanted to create something that gives fans a new way to celebrate and remember that legacy.”
Produced in limited quantities, The Golden Glory is expected to appeal to North Melbourne supporters, memorabilia collectors and wine lovers alike.
Red Hill Estate says the 2024 vintage features notes of liqueur cherry and warm spice, balanced by silky tannins and a long finish.
The wine is available for pre-order now ($48) via Red Hill Estate’s website ahead of its official June 2026 release.
