Description

A very cool start to the season was punctuated by a few solid rain events in December that led to healthy dark green canopies.

The final stage of the growing season was cooler than average which led to delayed ripening, and softer colours.

Acidity across both the clones in the top Pinot blocks was naturally high. Fruit was hand sorted in both vineyard and winery.

The 2021 vintage in southern Tasmania has produced highly perfumed and textured Pinot Noir.

About the region

Tasmania

Tasmania is Australia's coolest wine state, and its growers trade warmth for length of season. Grapes ripen slowly and hold their acidity, which is why so much of the country's best sparkling wine is grown here, and why Tasmanian Pinot Noir is lighter-framed and more savoury than mainland examples. Riesling and Chardonnay do well for the same reason. The Tamar Valley, Pipers River and the Coal River Valley are the main pockets.
