Tasting Notes:

Bright, vibrant red in colour, the perfume of this wine is very complex. Sweet ripe strawberry fruit features with Chinese spice from MV 6 cloned vineyards and whole bunch influence – star anise, cinnamon plum blossom. Although elegant and supple, the wine shows remarkable power, intensity and length on the palate. Framed by ripe, moderate tannin the graceful strawberry fruit is complemented but not dominated by spice. Overall the wine has wonderful poise and balance with remarkable length of flavour as all great Pinot Noirs should.

Technical:

The 2022 Vintage in Tasmania was not without its challenges, with vast differences in the behaviours of each of the sub-regions. A long and wet winter and following spring let to a slow ripening season with small yields. The Derwent and Coal River Valleys both experienced relatively cool and slow ripening seasons, producing excellent quality fruit that arrived very late in the season, picked at relatively high Baumes to manage the high acid retention. The outcome of this tricky season is bright and intensely concentrated wines with complex flavour, ripe structure and lovely mid palate weight.

Accolades & Awards:

97 Point Rated & Top 50 Wines 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards
"Prior to 2024, we’ve never had a Tasmanian Pinot in our Best In Show selection. This year we have two. Was it because 2022 was a sensational vintage? Not exactly – the east coast of the island suffered from a spectacularly cool, wet season; elsewhere on the island, though, conditions did indeed vary from good to outstanding. The first wine in our pair is a pan-Tasmanian blend with source fruit from several regions. It is a translucent dark red in colour, with warm, settled aromas of plum, cherry and raspberry just teased towards sweetness with subtle oak. It is warm, soft and mouthfilling, built on the same core of subtly mingled fruits with muted, natural acidity and fine tannins, the combination giving an almost silky charm to the wine. This considered, restrained winemaking lays the groundwork for a Pinot which is hugely easy to drink yet at the same time deeply satisfying and highly amenable – a Pinot to sip on its own, to chill with fish or to serve at a cool room temperature for white meats and salads."

96 Point Rated & 5 Stars Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Stylish and refined, the wine shows dark cherry, rich floral, olive, warm mushroom and toasted almond notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate displaying finely flowing mouthfeel combined with silky texture and beautifully melded tannins. Wonderfully composed and harmonious with a lengthy seamless finish. At its best: now to 2037."


96 Point Rated Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Somewhat forward developed, with the first aromas smoky charcoal/grilled meats, and in the mouth, sweet succulent ripe cherry fruit aplenty, completed by soft tannins. Delicious! (Best in Show award, 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards)"

95 Point Rated Aaron Brasher The Real Review
"Lovely colour, bright, youthful and lively. Complex aromas of bramble, cherry, raspberry, spice, clovey oak and a lifted, whole-bunchy edge. There's a core of wildness: red berries, spice and bushy, briary characters driving the flavours, along with sap and earth. The tannins have appealing presence and the acidity provides cut and snap. A lovely pinot noir."

94 Point Rated - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
"The Derwent and Coal River valleys provide the fruit source for this year's release, which shows bright, lively wild strawberry, raspberry and dark cherry fruit tones with hints of exotic spice, sous bois, shiitake broth, roasting game and earth. Impressive fruit intensity on the palate, plenty of minerally drive and gentle chalky tannins that show more muscle as the wine fades away, pure of fruit and long."
