I’m into it.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe story behind this vineyard is a good one. Waverley had been planted in 2005 but the owner had stepped away, leaving it derelict. In 2015, Ricky Evans knocked on the door and convinced him to hand over the farming. It's been one of his most high quality sites ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLocated east of Launceston with a little elevation, the vineyard sits more in the influence of the surrounding mountains than the Tamar River, which shows in a cooler, slower-ripening character. Three clones: Dijon 114 and 115, which are picked together and given a good portion of whole bunch, and an unknown late-ripening clone with high natural acidity that gets an extra week on the vine before being destemmed and blended in. The final blend sits at around 30% whole bunch, with 11 months in French oak (mostly second and third fill).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhere Three Wishes leans into warmth and flesh, Waverley is the more restrained and savoury of the two. Fine, firm tannins, a brisk acidity that runs the length of the palate, and a long, composed finish. The site isn't the prettiest, but the wines certainly are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pNAotS9uN6M?si=j7zE00w5iHCz6ipk\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlawn Tasmania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44569860210731,"sku":"2023 Woodlawn Waverley Vineyard Pinot Noir","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023WoodlawnWaverleyVineyardPinotNoir.png?v=1788351130","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-woodlawn-waverley-vineyard-pinot-noir","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
