Description

Gilli and Paul Lipscombe have settled into a nice rhythm with their Small Wonder wines, and the 2024 Tamar Valley Pinot Noir shows just how well the region suits their touch. It’s a fuller, more generous release than the last few years, with the warmer season pushing the fruit into that red and blue spectrum while still keeping the wine firmly in the savoury, detailed zone they like to work in.

The Pommard clone brings its usual depth, and the extended time in barrel has added a gentle gamey note that sits comfortably behind the fruit rather than taking charge. The palate is where the vintage really shows super supple, fleshy in the middle, and carried by tannins that feel soft but present enough to guide the wine.

It’s a really assured take on Tamar Pinot from a team better known for the tension and structure of their Huon wines. As ever with these guys, production is small, so it won’t stick around for long.

Certified organic grapes, D4V2 clone, unfined
Riper than previous vintages with red and blue fruits combined with hints of gamey complexity from the extended ageing in barrel. Super supple and fleshy on the palate

Sailor Seeks Horse

Sailor Seeks Horse is one of the Apple Isle's most exciting new producers. It's a husband and wife team behind the scenes, Paul and Gilli Lipscombe.

The Lipscombes produce exquisite Pinot Noir and Chardonnay off their estate vineyard, planted by their own hands, back in 2005. The wines have startling energy to them, with a pinpoint balance of fruit and savoury spice. They are released in perilously small amounts and are never around for long.

With the small cult following the couple have garnered since starting their own label, their wines are now hunted by serious collectors who want to be in on the ground floor.

As Mike Bennie declared with Paul and Gilli's inaugural 2013 Pinot Noir release, "We have here a new star in the making." Tasmanian Pinot and Chardonnay lovers, don't miss these scintillating wines.
