Our Thoughts

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.

Vintage Comment :: 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.
