Description

The unknown Ossa wine project from Tasmania was thrust into the limelight when their debut 2000 Pinot Noir release won the Australian Pinot Noir Challenge in 2021, and scored a memorable 98 point review from the Halliday Wine Companion.

Future vintages will include their new home plantings at the Belbrook farm but for now the Pinot is a blend of fruit from premium sites in Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and, nearer to home, Swansea on the East Coast.

The fruit feels plush and flavoursome, the palate structure is velvety and lengthy, and the balanced acidity underpins a hugely complex wine.

A phenomenal new star in Tasmania's Pinot Noir firmament that should evolve very gracefully over the next ten years.

95 points - "Pinot noir clones 777, 114 and D5V12 from Ossa's East Coast estate, some whole berries and whole clusters, matured 11 months in larger French oak (15% new). Bright ruby with a magenta edge. Notes of red and dark cherries, wild strawberries and raspberry coulis cut with hints of undergrowth, fine spice, mountain herbs and wildflowers. A pure flow of plush fruit in the palate entry, plentiful in spice and light gamey notes with a tight, chalky tannin framework and pulsing mineral line. Finishes long, elegant and quite sweetly fruited." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Delicious

    Brilliant wine. A soft clear cherry colour.A sweet bouquet with gentle Forrest floor hints

    A perfect balance of berry fruits with the hint of oak in perfect balance.

    A gentle but strong palate. I love it and it will age superbly.
