Description

Small Island started with a simple goal – to make Pinot that tastes unmistakably like it comes from Tasmania, without overcomplicating things. The Black Label is their most consistent expression of that idea, pulling together fruit from some of the state’s best spots to get the right mix of brightness, depth and drinkability.

2023 was a classic cool Tassie season – slow ripening, great flavour and plenty of natural freshness. The Black Label shows it all in an easy, unforced way. It’s got lift and perfume, a bit of savoury backbone, and just enough structure to work at the table as well as on its own.

It’s the bottle you can reach for any time – weeknight or special dinner – knowing it’ll deliver that pure, vibrant Tassie Pinot character Small Island has built its name on.

93 points - "The nose here is all about crushed stone, cherry clafoutis and wild strawberries with some nice, mysterious gamey undertones. I like this wine's stony demeanour, all airy with twiggy notes, spice, gentle red berry, raspberry and redcurrant fruit tone and just the right amount of funk in its trunk. I reckon a big 'ol plate of charcuterie, some washed-rind cheese and this and you'll be in a happy place." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 points - "A frisky, bright, crisp pinot noir with hallmark red cherry, cranberry, woody spices, turned earth elements and some salty, liquorice notes in tow. Quite tightly wound, feels energetic and refreshing with a kind of skittish, nervous energy to it all. Vibrant, to say the least. Refreshing is an understatement. In all that, fun drinking." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    This is a beautifully balance Pinot. Just a touch of oak, soft tannins. But it's sold out :-(

The Black Label is quintessential Tasmanian pinot noir with hints of cassis, dark cherries, cured meat and a dash of oak, this wine has a lot going on. Perfect for any dinner party or a special night in.

The Black Label Pinot Noir is a perfect blend of upper Derwent, Saltwater River and Tamar fruit. The wine shows great structure and subtle tannins. A cooler year helped to maintain amazing acidity while allowing fruit complexity to develop. The long growing season has really added wonderful character to this classic Tasmanian wine. Drink now – 2040
