Ricca Terra craft wines that feel quite alive in the glass, perhaps due to their deep agricultural understanding and farming practices. I could be romanticising, but this wine is a living thing. Soft leather, aniseed rings, fresh fig and dry earth. Dark chocolate and blood plum. The tannins have a lateral extension within, beyond the spine of the drink, leaf vein-like.

Spice, plum and red berries lead the way, with threads of thyme and white pepper giving a savoury twist. The palate is fine and fresh, almost Pinot-like in its shape, with crunchy red fruits, silky tannins and a subtle mineral grip. At just 11.2% alcohol, it’s feather-light but never simple – the kind of wine that feels as good on a Tuesday night as it does at a long weekend lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOchota have always made Grenache their own, stripping it back to its essence and letting the vineyard speak.

It now completes the trio of southern valleys, with each region making up roughly a third of the final blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though the south is traditionally the coldest end of the island, the 2025 season was warm and generous enough to give this wine a serious amount of plushness. Surprisingly, Ricky found that the new Huon component actually provided the grunt and richness this year. He kept the winemaking light-handed - roughly 10% whole bunch across the parcels and an early press-off to ensure that the tannins stayed soft and pliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless, the result is the boldest and most structured Pinot in the Two Tonne range. It’s brooding and dark, loaded with black cherry and plum, but it still carries that essential Tassie lift. Spending 11 months in oak has smoothed out the edges, leaving you with a wine that has plenty of muscle but still feels energetic. It’s always the first to sell out of the three TTT Pinots, this year likely won't be different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-two-tonne-tasmania-sth-pinot-noir\" title=\"2025 Two Tonne Tasmania STH Pinot Noir\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Two Tonne Tasmania EST Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EST Pinot is Ricky Evans’ deep dive into the rugged East Coast. Sourced from the windswept Blackwood Estate in Cranbrook, this is where the wild Freycinet coastline and ancient volcanic soils strip away the pretty fruit found in the north, replacing it with something a bit more rugged and edgy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 season was warm and dry, but the East Coast fruit actually came in a little lighter in weight this year. Ricky leaned into this, using a 100% whole-berry fermentation with about 10 days on skins. He worked the ferment gently - pumpovers early and hand-plunging at the finish - before pressing it off warm to preserve the perfume. The result is a slightly prettier, more ethereal version of EST than we usually see, though it still carries that hallmark mineral tannin that is the site's thumbprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven in a lighter frame, the wine's East Coast DNA is unmistakable. You still get the dark cherry and wild herb notes, but it’s the soil-driven, graphite tannins that really define it. It’s the most\"Itanianate\" of the Pinots, to use a clumsy analogy. But suffice to say, if you’re a fan of Pinots that lean into the savoury, mineral side of the spectrum, this is your pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-two-tonne-tasmania-est-pinot-noir\" title=\"2025 Two Tonne Tasmania EST Pinot Noir\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VXm1dgND7ZA?si=2O9jHhSTonavQZoo\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlawn Tasmania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39280883466283,"sku":"Two Tonne Tasmania Pinot Noir Masterclass Pack","price":109.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/TwoTonneTasmaniaPinotNoirMasterclassPack_4d9bf592-7f5f-4b62-8a83-575d671a3772.webp?v=1756449039"},{"product_id":"fun-in-the-sun-whites-pack","title":"Fun in the Sun Whites Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pack is designed to cover a wide range of white varieties and give you excellent value examples of everything from Riesling to Fiano to Chardonnay.
