“The wines from this estate have become classier and classier with each passing year. Indeed, it’s fast heading for elite status.” — CAMPBELL MATTINSON & GARY WALSH
The wineries first foray into Tasmania
Perfumed and expressive, this Pinot opens with beautiful fragrant black cherry and blueberry fruits
-
Description
Tasmania :: A warmer and drier start to vintage than previous years, then ideal conditions leading into budburst which allowed for good fruit set and bunch size. During the growing season, the northern Tamar region received above average temperatures, while parts of the island’s south experienced cooler than average temperatures.
Hand sorted on our sorting table. A 3 day cold soak at 8°C before naturally fermenting using indigenous yeast for 15 days on skins in a combination of concrete and stainless steel fermenters. Lightly pressed then aged in oak for 8 months where it went through a natural malolactic fermentation before it was blended, filtered and bottled.
Perfumed and expressive, this Pinot opens with beautiful fragrant black cherry and blueberry fruits and has a voluptuous charm with layers of aniseed, pink musk and blackberry finishing with a silky texture and chalky fine tannins.
