Winemaker's Notes
Reviews/Accolades

Grapes
100% Tasmanian Pinot Noir sourced
from our Estate Vineyard at Relbia,
northern Tasmania.
Winemaking
Hand-picked Pinot Noir is gently
destemmed and placed in small
batch open top fermenters with
approximately 25% whole bunches.
Early regular rémontage (pump-over)
and pigéage (plunging) is used to
immerse the skins and extract colour
and tannin as gently as possible.
After pressing, the wine undergoes
malolactic fermentation in French oak
barriques and is matured in oak for 12
months prior to bottling.
Cellaring
Whilst approachable now, the richness
of fruit and fine tannins will reward
careful cellaring with a complex, spicy
wine. Optimum cellaring now to 2021.
Serving Suggestions
Sushi, charcuterie and lighter red meats.

Alc. 13.9%
95 Points James Halliday - Bright light, clear crimson; the expressive bouquet is full of wild strawberry and spice aromas that flow into the perfectly balanced palate, which adds some discrete foresty nuances, promising yet more in the future. As it is, pretty smart.
