Derwent Valley, TAS, Australia
95 points - Halliday Wine Companion
“A bright, complex pinot noir sourced from a number of vineyards, predominately the Lowestoft site overlooking the Derwent River. Pure red and dark cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry fruits with hints of Chinese barbecue shop, five-spice, teacake, mushroom, purple floral and subtle leaf litter tones. There is a nice sense of space and clarity in this wine, fine acidity providing the pulse and a sustained red-fruited finish studded with game, amaro and spice.”95 points - James Suckling
“Lower Derwent sourced fruit, essentially from the outer suburbs of Hobart, planted nigh on 40 years ago. Dense plantings. Lots of layers here. Bracken, shiitake dashi, darker cherry and freshly grown moss, spruce and other forestry allusions. Dense, pliant and convincing, this is excellent mid-weighted Tassie Pinot.”
Source from multiple-estate vineyard ( 74% Derwent Valley, 24% East Coast, 2% Huon Valley), all hand-picked.Batches fermented in open top fermenters up to 25% with whole bunch.Matured in large format French oak (30% New) individually for 10 months, bottling with minimal fining and filtration.
On the palate, layers of anise and five spice envelope the structured palate and intertwine with intense black plum and juicy dark cherries. Bright red berry acidity and graceful tannins ensure this is a wine with silky texture and persistent length.
