Description

Ricky Evans took over Three Wishes Vineyard in 2015, knowing it had serious potential. This site has more weight and ripeness than his Waverley vineyard, and in 2022, with tiny yields and powerful concentration, Ricky decided to push things further - upping the whole-bunch component to 40% to match the intensity of the fruit. The result is one of the most compelling Pinots he’s released yet.

Three Wishes is north-facing, sitting in a small valley near the Tamar River, giving the fruit more exposure to sunlight and warmth. The vineyard is planted to unknown Pinot clones, with a small block of MV6 bringing additional depth and structure. Fermented wild with 40% whole bunches, the wine spent 11 months in old barriques before bottling, then matured in bottle for another year before release.

Dark, brooding, and powerful, this Pinot leans into the richer side of Tassie Pinot Noir. Expect aromas of black cherry, dark plum, wild herbs, and spice, with a palate that fills the mouth with dense fruit, fine tannins, and a long, structured finish. It’s still elegant and fresh, but there’s an undeniable gravitas here.

One of the most age-worthy Pinots Ricky has released - cellar with confidence.

There are two clones of Pinot Noir in Three Wishes Vineyard. The unknown clones occupy most of the site, and a small portion of MV6 is also present. The MV6 at this site is very low-yielding and packs a heap of flavour and structure. Ricky upped the bunch component to 40% this year to “match the concentration from the low yields.” Maturation occurred in old barriques for 11 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The wine then matured in the bottle for another 12 months or so before release. Old vines, low yields, and a cool, even year come together beautifully here.

Woodlawn Tasmania

Woodlawn Tasmania is the umbrella under which Ricky Evans' three wine labels coalesce.

His three labels include the regional Two Tonne Tasmania series of Tamar Valley Riesling, Chardonnay and sub-regional Pinot Noirs, the experimental series of wines under the Havilah label made for his wine bar in Launceston of the same name and his Single Vineyard range of exceptional premium wines from his beloved Tamar Valley vineyards farmed by Ricky himself.

Evans is one of Tasmania's most dynamic winemakers. Over his time since serendipitously starting the Two Tonne Tasmania label in 2013, Ricky's approach to both farming grapes and making wine has matured dramatically. The young gun is now an established player in the upper echelon of the island and is set to be one of Tasmania's most influential voices in wine for many years to come.
