Single-vineyard pinot noir from the Lower Derwent Valley. Vibrant ruby with aromas of exotically-spiced red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruits. Hints of dried mountain herbs, citrus blossom, char siu, sandalwood, dried cranberry, amaro, undergrowth and Peking duck. Lithe and sapid on the palate with a touch of sour cherry, pillowy tannins and a spicy, complex finish that flows on for a pleasing amount of time.
95 Points, Tyson Stelzer, Wine Business Magazine 2024
I love the elegant restraint of this cool humid season, and this single vineyard in the lower Derwent Valley exemplifies its mood with tension and endurance. This is Pinot Noir scaffolded for the long haul, with an intricately engineered framework of super fine tannins supported with all the structure of impeccably poised natural acidity. I love the dynamic, setting a longevity much more Burgundian than it is Tasmanian.

The Lowestoft winery has been on a roll in recent years, picking up major awards here and there.This wine kept unfurling as I sat with it. There are layers and there are nuances. It’s an autumnal Pinot Noir, almost-but-not-quite a bit tomato leafy, with smoky/reductive characters in play too. Its style is pretty clear. But the fruit is ripe, cherried, strawberried, boysenberried even, and cedarwood oak is beautifully integrated, and there’s a minerally crackle to the tannin. In short, it feels and tastes like a class act, and one that will reward cellaring. The tannin profile itself is of note; a conduit of flavour and a magnetic, binding force, like a river or a stream, pushing and pulling as the wine flows.
