Gently hand plunged, with gentle pressing to tank post MLF, followed by 10 months maturation in large format French oak (25% new) before selective barrel blending and bottling with minimal additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasmania \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTA 6.00 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDecanter World Wine Awards 2024\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"trophy\" title=\"Royal Hobart Wine Show 2022\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest in Show - 97 Points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoyal Hobart Wine Show 2023\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"gold\" title=\"Royal Hobart Wine Show 2022\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMalbourne Royal Wine Awards 2023\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"gold\" title=\"Royal Hobart Wine Show 2022\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoyal Queensland Wine\u003cspan\u003e Awards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[badge rating=\"gold\" title=\"Royal Queensland Wine Awards 2024\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHalliday Wine Companion 2025\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-vineyard pinot noir from the Lower Derwent Valley. Vibrant ruby with aromas of exotically-spiced red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruits. Hints of dried mountain herbs, citrus blossom, char siu, sandalwood, dried cranberry, amaro, undergrowth and Peking duck. Lithe and sapid on the palate with a touch of sour cherry, pillowy tannins and a spicy, complex finish that flows on for a pleasing amount of time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"95\" title=\"Halliday Wine Companion 2025\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTyson Stelzer, Wine Business Magazine 2024\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love the elegant restraint of this cool humid season, and this single vineyard in the lower Derwent Valley exemplifies its mood with tension and endurance. This is Pinot Noir scaffolded for the long haul, with an intricately engineered framework of super fine tannins supported with all the structure of impeccably poised natural acidity. I love the dynamic, setting a longevity much more Burgundian than it is Tasmanian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"95\" title=\"Halliday Wine Companion 2024\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGary Walsh, The Wine Front, July 2024\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lowestoft winery has been on a roll in recent years, picking up major awards here and there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine kept unfurling as I sat with it. There are layers and there are nuances. It’s an autumnal Pinot Noir, almost-but-not-quite a bit tomato leafy, with smoky\/reductive characters in play too. Its style is pretty clear. But the fruit is ripe, cherried, strawberried, boysenberried even, and cedarwood oak is beautifully integrated, and there’s a minerally crackle to the tannin. In short, it feels and tastes like a class act, and one that will reward cellaring. The tannin profile itself is of note; a conduit of flavour and a magnetic, binding force, like a river or a stream, pushing and pulling as the wine flows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"94+\" title=\"The Wine Front\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJames Suckling January 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrant with pomegranates, red currants, sage and hints of incense and cola candy.
