The 2019 Lowestoft Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is a mature Tasmanian Pinot Noir that highlights the depth and complexity that can emerge from careful bottle aging. Sourced from a dedicated single vineyard in the Coal River Valley, this release showcases the region's cool-climate character through aromas of red cherry, dried raspberry and cranberry, layered with notes of rose petal, forest floor, dried herbs and subtle spice. Several years in bottle have added savoury nuance while preserving the wine's freshness and elegance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and a beautifully integrated structure. Flavours of red berries, dark cherry and plum are complemented by earthy undertones, gentle spice and subtle oak complexity. The additional maturity has softened the wine's texture and introduced greater depth, while maintaining the precision and balance that define premium Tasmanian Pinot Noir. The finish is long, refined and persistent, with lingering savoury notes and delicate fruit.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir lovers looking to explore the rewards of bottle-aged Tasmanian wine. Drinking beautifully now, it offers a harmonious balance of developed complexity and vibrant fruit character. Pair with roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, game bird dishes or soft-ripened cheeses for a classic cool-climate Pinot Noir experience.
