Bright, vibrant red in colour, the perfume of this wine is very complex. Sweet ripe raspberry and cherry fruit features with subtle savoury notes of dried herbs, black olive, and cinnamon plum blossom. Although elegant and supple, the wine shows remarkable power and intensity.Framed by ripe, moderate tannin the graceful sweet cherry 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.
The 2023 Vintage was yet another challenging year in Tasmania. A long cool growing season led to great flavours but with plenty of disease pressure to keep us on our toes. The outcome of this tricky season is aromatic wines with complex flavour concentration, ripe structured and lovely mid palate weight. Here at Bay of Fires Winery our philosophy on Pinot Noir production is to preserve to bottle the essential characteristics of the vineyard fruit and create the highest quality blend from subregional Tasmania. Gentle handling of the fruit and wine help to achieve this, while restrained winemaking assists in developing the complexity of the final blend. Several of the vineyards we source Pinot Noir from were planted for us at carefully selected sites. These are now developing in maturity, which translates to better balance and depth of flavour in our wines. The 2023 Bay of Fires Pinot Noir exemplifies this development showing richness and elegance that is so desirable from cool climate Tasmania.
