Description
Lowestoft’s rise to the top tier of Tasmanian Pinot has been nothing short of meteoric and this excellent estate wine shows exactly why. Sourced predominantly from their mature 1986-planted Derwent Valley vineyard, this is an exercise in Tassie Pinot polish and precision.
The 2021 vintage was the driest on record, with cool temps and low yields leading to a Pinot of rare intensity. Small parcels were hand-picked across the Derwent (74%), East Coast (24%) and Huon Valley (2%), gently handled with up to 25% whole bunch, and raised in large format French oak for 10 months (30% new). It’s a painstaking approach that pays off in the glass.
Think dark cherries laced with black plum, exotic spice and anise, underpinned by pomegranate acidity and silken tannins. It’s supple and complex, but with a firm spine that promises 7-10 years of graceful ageing.
For a young label, Lowestoft is already playing in the big leagues. If you want to see just how serious modern Tassie Pinot can be, this is the bottle.

"There is a nice sense of space and clarity in this wine, fine acidity providing the pulse and a sustained red-fruited finish studded with game, amaro and spice."
