Description

Ricky Evans describes this as an apéritif to the Woodlawn table wines, and that's exactly how it drinks. Made from 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay sourced from Tamar Valley growers, it's a traditional method sparkling built for freshness and easy enjoyment rather than extended cellaring.

The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented slowly in tank, with the Chardonnay component going through MLF to add a touch of creaminess around the Pinot's natural acidity. After six months on lees, the wine was assembled and tiraged, spending a further 14 months on lees before disgorgement with a low dosage of 4g/L.

The result is crisp, lively and approachable, with the clean cool-climate freshness that makes Tasmanian sparkling so reliable as a starting point for the table. There's enough lees complexity to give it texture and interest, but it's not trying to be anything other than a very good glass of fizz at a price that makes it easy to pop without occasion.

 

80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay sourced from a few of our growers in the area, picked for flavour for an earlier release style.

All whole bunch pressed of course, nice slow & cold ferment in tank before resting on lees for about 6 months. Chardonnay component was allowed to go through MLF in tank for creaminess and provide some texture around the spritely acid profile of the pinot. The wine was assembled and tiraged, then spent 14 months on lees prior to disgorging with a dosage of 4g/L.

Approachable, with enough time on lees for complexity, whilst retaining the classic freshness of the region - an apertif to the table wines produced under this label. NV release, predominately from 2024 base.

Woodlawn Tasmania

Woodlawn Tasmania is the umbrella under which Ricky Evans' three wine labels coalesce.

His three labels include the regional Two Tonne Tasmania series of Tamar Valley Riesling, Chardonnay and sub-regional Pinot Noirs, the experimental series of wines under the Havilah label made for his wine bar in Launceston of the same name and his Single Vineyard range of exceptional premium wines from his beloved Tamar Valley vineyards farmed by Ricky himself.

Evans is one of Tasmania's most dynamic winemakers. Over his time since serendipitously starting the Two Tonne Tasmania label in 2013, Ricky's approach to both farming grapes and making wine has matured dramatically. The young gun is now an established player in the upper echelon of the island and is set to be one of Tasmania's most influential voices in wine for many years to come.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
