The 2022 Lowestoft Jacoben Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is a premium Tasmanian Pinot Noir sourced from the Jacoben Vineyard in the Coal River Valley, one of the region's most prized cool-climate sites. Produced in limited quantities, this single-vineyard release highlights the precision and purity that have become hallmarks of Lowestoft's top-tier wines. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry, complemented by notes of rose petal, exotic spice, forest floor and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and exceptional finesse. Flavours of red berries, dark cherry and pomegranate are supported by savoury undertones and finely integrated French oak, creating a wine with both elegance and depth. The vineyard's cool-climate conditions provide freshness and structure, while careful winemaking preserves the purity of fruit and site expression. The finish is long, refined and persistent, with lingering spice, mineral detail and delicate earthy complexity.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Pinot Noir for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a serious single-vineyard Tasmanian expression. Beautifully balanced and highly detailed, it drinks well now with decanting but has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years. Pair with roast duck, game bird dishes, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or soft-ripened cheeses.
