A complex blend of no less than 5 clones and 4 vineyard sites in the north, south and east of Tasmania.Intense, yet elegant, coupled with wonderful length and purity.

6.31 ha Faiveley monopole at the north-east edge of Mercurey — iron-rich clay-limestone giving silky, warm, slightly rustic Pinot Noir.

Faiveley's regional Bourgogne Pinot — accessible introduction to the Côte d'Or's largest private domaine, founded 1825.

This is a wine with real power and drive, yet delivered with precision and fi nesse. While ready to drink on release it can be expected to cellar well and evolve gracefully for many years.

The palate is bright and generously up front and aptly supports the aroma with juicy raspberry, chocolate and berry compote, driven by frisky acidity. The wine is particularly easy drinking with fine but abundant tannin. With generous length, the wine is delectably moreish and is ready to fully appreciate now or over the next ten years. Would compliment pate and charcuterie.

The affordable entry into a Côte de Nuits estate — old vines (planted 1956-1965) in Premeaux-Prissey farmed with Premier Cru-level care.

The palate is equally complex with layers of dark fruit, spice and umami that are woven together by a fresh vein of acidity. The texture is rich and mouth-filling with silky, fine tannins that build in the mouth giving a long, memorable finish.

Framed by ripe, moderate tannin the sweet strawberry fruit is complemented but not dominated by spice.

On the palate the wine shows complex savoury fruit and spice and is long, textural and juicy. Bright, young fruit now will match well with crispy duck breast or a piece of wagyu beef with a wild mushroom sauce.

What strikes you most is the lovely balance between fruit and savoury character, with bright berries, perfumed florals, tilled earth and some cured meat flavours supporting a structure of sappy/crunchy acidity and juicy, enveloping tannins.

This is all about sour cherry and spice - well integrated fine tannins with a balanced finish.

“A BRIGHT-EYED RED WITH HINTS OF BRIAR PATCH AND A WHIFF OF GUN SMOKE"

Medium-bodied with deceptive power, silky tannins and long-term ageing potential. Great flavour and length.

It’s elegant and aromatic, deeply flavoured but never weighty; its silky and supple texture is underpinned by long, tender tannins and seductively fresh acidity. The beautifully calibrated finish is enchantingly slinky and impressively persistent.
