Critic Scores

97James Halliday

The colour is little, if any, different to its Estate sibling, but the bouquet has more fragrant and varietally pure fruit. The palate unexpectedly reverses the plot, being more complex, more foresty and less fruity. There is presumably more whole bunch use, but the wine's intensity draws saliva from the mouth.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Main Ridge Estate, founded at Red Hill in 1975 by Nat and Rosalie White as the Mornington Peninsula's first commercial winery, passed to Tim and Libby Sexton in 2015. The Half Acre remains one of two minute estate blocks, on red basalt-derived Ferrosol soils at around 250 metres in a cool maritime climate. Close-planted, hand-worked vines and very low yields continued under the new owners. The 2016 growing season was a challenging one on the Peninsula, but careful vineyard management preserved fruit quality, producing a firm, savoury and highly structured wine built for the cellar.

Vinification

The fruit was hand-picked and wild-fermented, with 18 days on skins before pressing to barrel. The wine spent its first 12 months on lees in French barriques, around a third of them new, then a further six months in barrel off lees before bottling. Minimal intervention and extended barrel time built a full-bodied, tightly structured Pinot with cherry-ripe fruit, savoury oak and considerable tannin firmness, reflecting both the site and a testing vintage.

Tasmania

Apart from being the most southerly wine region in Australia, Tasmania has among the coolest growing subregions with the potential to make distinctly different wines than in the rest of the country.

Most well known for cool-climate varietals like Pinot noir and Chardonnay (thus sparkling too), Sauvignon Blanc smaller plantings of Riesling, Cabernet and Pinot Gris (more commonly Pinot labelled Pinot Grigio)

Historically, Tasmania can lay claim to being the founder of both the Victorian and South Australian wine industries as William Henty sailed from Launceston to Portland (in Victoria) in 1834 and planted grape cuttings there. Though not conclusively proven, it's believed that John Hack planted vines in South Australia in 1837, closely followed in 1838 by John Reynell.

Warmer vintages (possibly attributable to global warming) has had positive effects on region's industry, allowing grapes in recent vintages to achieve full phenolic ripeness, making for vibrant wines that have been widely accepted as world class.
