The 2021 Vintage in Tasmania was a classic cool season. A wet winter set us up well for the growing season, aided by a dry November with neither frost nor wine causing an issue. A cooler season let to slow ripening where the vines enjoyed regular rainfall. A later start and longer ripening period resulted in wines that are full of flavour, rich in concentration and supported by creamy mid-palate weight. Pinot is very strong the full range of flavour spectrum from red to dark and violet fruit, supported by ripe tannin profiles and silky texture. A very promising year indeed. The fruit for this Pinot Noir was hand harvested from the Tamar Valley and East Coast regions of Tasmania. Intense aromas of red berries precede subtle spice so typical of Tasmanian Pinot Noir.
