TASTING NOTES

So much grace and power in the glass it is hard to comprehend. Like a ballet dancer who soars across the stage landing effortlessly, the subtlety of their movements hiding the strength of each leap.

The wine is beautifully perfumed, has cherry, rhubarb and an earthy depth with velvety texture and fine, silky tannin. It seduces you with its aroma and captivates you with its vibrant long-lived mouthfeel.

Everything is in balance here, fruit, texture, tannin, acidity, and oak all joining together in an overwhelmingly fabulous Pinot experience.

REGION

Auburn Road Vineyard, a patch of untamed paradise on the west side of the Tamar River in Tasmania’s north, is a cool site planted on north-facing slopes that spill into a spring-fed lake surrounded by native forest.
NASAA Organic Certified site since November 2022.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were chilled overnight after picking. Next day the bunches were destemmed and the berries were put in open fermenters to cold soak for five days, after which the must was inoculated to start fermentation. The ferments were hand plunged twice daily and after 14 days on skins, the new wine was pressed off, briefly settled and put into oak for 10 months in French oak barriques, 40% new – mix of Burgundian coopers.
