This 2025 release is a stunning return to form, described by Brian himself as \"a return to the good old days, plus some.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pours a deep ruby red, full of promise. While Brian bottles without fining or filtration to preserve maximum flavour, the wine remains bright and crystal clear. The nose is deep and mysterious, packed with ripe Pinot fruit and devoid of any bracken or green characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is classic Apsley Gorge. It is textured, mouth-filling and rich, with a firm savoury edge that has become the hallmark of the vineyard. A long, persistent finish is carried by fresh acidity that makes the wine sing. It is a powerful, structured Pinot that will reward those who like their wines with a bit of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The results at Apsley Gorge are wines, and especially Pinot Noirs, that brilliantly express spirit of place—a Tasmanian terroir through Burgundian technique—richly flavoured, complex Pinot Noirs, with soft tannins, that are an ode to the splendours of late autumn fruit.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Konrad Muller, A Burgundian Odyssey, Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Apsley Gorge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45150736547883,"sku":"2025 Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024ApsleyGorgePinotNoir_55f2e4b4-c61e-4e8b-8bfd-7b79f6993496.webp?v=1789174132","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-apsley-gorge-pinot-noir","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
