Description

This is the kind of Pinot that doesn’t need a big intro. All Coal River Valley fruit, made with a light hand and a clear goal - to be the bottle you reach for without having to think twice. No flash, no fuss, just good farming and calm winemaking.

The 2023 vintage gave clean, bright fruit with plenty of natural lift. Fermented mostly as whole berries with a few whole bunches thrown in for a bit of edge, then aged briefly in old oak. It’s soft, fragrant and quietly structured - cherry, a touch of spice, maybe some dried herbs if you’re paying attention.

It’s not trying to be serious, but it’s not sloppy either. Just a clean, drinkable, cool-climate Pinot that does what it says on the label. Great straight out of the fridge with a bit of chill, or left to open up in the glass. Either way, it’s a good time.

"Light and energetic with sour cherry, blue fruits and purple floral overtones... lively drinking with Tasmanian mineral drive."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 points - "A great little Coal River pinot noir, sapid and bouncy; 100% destemmed and built for attacking straight away. It's light and energetic with a real pep in its step across the tongue. Sour cherry and blue fruits dusted with spice and purple floral overtones. It makes for wicked, lively drinking with plenty of classic Tasmanian mineral drive." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Wine for drinking around the house, mid week quaffing and sharing with people welcome in your house.

Derwent Valley Pinot Noir (MV6) based juicy little red wine for enthusiastic drinking. Picked earlier for vibrancy, 100% destemmed with a shorter and gentler maceration. Matured in a mix of stainless tanks and large format or old oak to maintain fruit purity. Supple, rotund magenta fruits, red berries and subtle spice with gentle ripples of tannin.
