Initial aromas of mocha and savoury notes give way to plump, red cherries and early season plums coupled with nutmeg and cinnamon spice. The palate is soft and delicious with fleshy plums and spices, fresh acidity and fine silky tannins that persist with the fruit well after the finish. After 6 hours of opening, blackcurrant and some savoury notes develop with soft tannins.

Single Site Ouse Pinot Noir offers a true interpretation of central Tasmanian terroir. The Ouse Vineyard was planted with MV6 clone Pinot Noir in the early 2000s. A most inland Pinot Noir resource of Dalrymple Vineyards, this site is also one of the warmest. East facing, with protection from the prevailing north westerly winds by the mountain ranges, the soil is basalt with a large number of small stones throughout the profile adding to the character of the wine.
