The Details

Tasting Note The nose opens with notes of ripe cranberry, blue florals and olive tapenade, backed by a light savoury character akin to liquorice root and damp earth with a faint edge of clove. Time in the glass brings out darker fruit notes of plum skin and blueberry with a lift of Tasmanian native herbs and dried thyme balanced with a seductive and succulent texture. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright, linear acidity that gives energy without compromising depth. Red cherries and tamarillo are layered with five-spice and flinty, mineral notes. There is a sense of restraint, a hint to those who know the reward of time.
Best Enjoyed With Slow-cooked, herbed, spring lamb shoulder with tamarillo jelly, served with sautéed potatoes, roasted beets and winter greens; or mushroom and butternut risotto with fresh rocket and cherry tomato salad.
Treatment The fruit was handpicked, a small amount of the bunches were placed directly into the fermenters with the balance being destemmed and placed on top for fermentation. A slow even fermentation with a couple of plunges and then pressed and placed into a blend of French oak barriques (30% new) for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation occurred in spring. Selected barrels were blended, bottled and cellared for 18 months before release.

Accolades

A seriously impressive pinot
Deep-ish red with a tinge of purple and a bouquet of black cherry with traces of beetroot and Campari—perhaps from whole-bunch fermentation. The wine is full and generous, even opulent on the palate, with terrific power and density thanks to high extract and concentrated fruit. The tannins are abundant and supple, surrounding a deep core of rich flavour. Long and super-satisfying aftertaste. A seriously impressive pinot and a big step up from the previous vintage.
