Darker fruits in this Huon Valley-born wine. Dark cherry, raspberry coulis and wild strawberry fruits with hints of struck flint, pastis, star anise, rhubarb, dried citrus rind, chocolate bullets, drying herbs, cured meats and earth. Expecting an exuberant wash of fruit, it does the opposite, cutting stony, savoury and nicely composed across the palate, with a powdered riverstone tannin fan and wisps of amaro herbs, exotic spice and purple flowers as it trails away. - 95 points, Dave Brookes

About the region

Tasmania · Huon Valley

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.
