The 2022 Barringwood Mill Block Pinot Noir is a cool-climate Tasmanian Pinot Noir sourced from the Mill Block vineyard parcels in north-west Tasmania, a region recognised for producing wines with freshness, structure and aromatic detail. The 2022 vintage highlights a refined and site-driven expression of Pinot Noir, balancing bright red fruit with savoury complexity and subtle oak influence. The nose is lifted and expressive, showing aromas of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside delicate spice, dried herbs and forest-floor nuances.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant natural acidity that provide energy and balance. Flavours of red berries, cranberry and plum skin are layered with subtle earthy notes, gentle spice and fine savoury complexity developed through careful oak maturation. The cool Tasmanian climate preserves freshness and clarity throughout the wine, while restrained winemaking allows the vineyard character to remain at the forefront. The finish is smooth, dry and persistent with lingering red fruit and soft spice notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Pinot Noir for customers who enjoy elegant cool-climate reds with freshness, fine tannins and savoury detail. The 2022 vintage drinks beautifully now while continuing to develop additional complexity over the next 4–6 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or herb-roasted chicken.
