It’s loaded with bright red berries - think raspberry and wild strawberry - wrapped in fine, chalky tannins. Spending 11 months in oak (only 10% new) has kept the palate juicy and vibrant. It’s a fragrant, effortless Pinot that’s made for immediate enjoyment, though it has enough structure to keep things interesting. As always with Two Tonne, it’s dangerously drinkable and stocks never last long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-two-tonne-tasmania-tmv-pinot-noir\" title=\"2025 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Two Tonne Tasmania STH Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the TMV is the snapshot of the north, the STH is Ricky’s exploration of Tasmania’s cooler, southern corners. The 2025 vintage marks a big milestone for this cuvée, with the Huon Valley making its debut alongside the Derwent and Coal River Valleys. 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":"giant-steps-2020-single-vineyard-pinot-noir-pack","title":"Giant Steps Single Vineyard Pinot Noir Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eA limited allocation tasting pack of Mel Chester's four brilliant 2024 Yarra Valley single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from the Yarra Valley and Tasmania, including the coveted 98-point Applejack Pinot Noir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jgKwW4I0jYQ?si=YUhRgnKI0UBmE0Oi\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Giant Steps Bastard Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2024 Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"One of Australia's most celebrated pinot noirs is in impressive form.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplejack is widely regarded as one the finest Pinot Noir vineyards in Australia.
