The 2024 Clarence House Estate Tasmania Reserve Pinot Noir Half Bottle (375ml) is an elegant and perfumed cool-climate Pinot Noir from Clarence Plains near Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. Clarence House Estate sits on a north-east facing slope in the foothills of the Meehan Ranges, with vines planted on Jurassic dolerite and basalt soils. Made by Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb, the 2024 Reserve was predominantly destemmed with 15% whole bunches included to enhance perfume and structure, before maturation in French oak barriques and puncheons.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers looking to experience premium Tasmanian Pinot Noir in a convenient half-bottle format. Compared to richer and darker-fruited Pinot Noir styles, the Clarence House Reserve offers greater perfume, freshness and cool-climate precision while still delivering impressive depth and complexity. The 375ml format is perfect for solo enjoyment, an elegant dinner for two or sampling one of Tasmania’s finest boutique Pinot Noirs without opening a full bottle. Perfect with duck breast, roast quail, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, game birds, charcuterie or truffle-infused dishes.
