Lifted, fresh cut strawberry and Morello cherries gives way to subtle and complex spice from whole bunch inclusion and quality French oak. The entry is gently sweet, then, aided by balanced natural acidity, strawberry seed tannin carries the palate to a point. Structure is light, yet with interest, cherries and spice are on feature. Its delicate shape, and carefully considered use of whole bunches and French oak revolve around purity of fruit. It is poised and balanced, true to style.
The 2021 Vintage in Tasmania was a classic cool season. A wet winter set us up well for the growing season, aided by a dry November with neither frost nor wine causing an issue. A cooler season let to slow ripening where the vines enjoyed regular rainfall. A later start and longer ripening period resulted in wines that are full of flavour, rich in concentration and supported by creamy mid-palate weight. Pinot is very strong the full range of flavour spectrum from red to dark and violet fruit, supported by ripe tannin profiles and silky texture. A very promising year indeed. The fruit for this Pinot Noir was hand harvested from the Tamar Valley and East Coast regions of Tasmania. Intense aromas of red berries precede subtle spice so typical of Tasmanian Pinot Noir.
