2024 Dr Edge Pinot Rain Pinot Noir
Bright, gluggable Pinot Noir from the master with the medical license (not really!), Dr Edge.
With Tassie Pinot prices soaring, we thank Peter Dredge for creating a "vin de soif" style Pinot Noir that brings all the goodness of Tasmanian vineyards without the hefty price tag.
Deliciously red-fruited and easygoing, it's a wine that's ready to go whenever you are. Pop it in the fridge for a minute before serving if you want, drink it in the Purple Rain with your favourite frog or Prince.
Another glass of Pinot Noir goodness from our favourite Tassie Doctor.
2023 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Pinot Noir
The TMV Pinot Noir is a composite blend of all the Tamar Valley Pinot Noir sites that are farmed by Ricky Evans.
It's a glimpse at the vintage for the Tamar Valley sub-region. This is not your average 'entry level' Pinot Noir, this is a beautifully crafted, elegant representation of Pinot Noir from the north of the island.
It's a cracking wine with immaculate fruit and a savoury backbone - a great representation of the quality being produced by a new wave of Tasmanian winemaking rock stars.
Stocks are limited on this release, so don't hesitate.
2023 Stoney Rise Pinot Noir
Joe Holyman is one of the leading lights of Tasmanian wine.
His Stoney Rise Pinot Noir always massively over-delivers, and this is no exception. With a wealth of experience from across the global wine scene, Joe - along with his wife Lou - have become the proprietors of the old Rotherhythe vineyard in northern Tasmania. From a vineyard that needed some serious TLC, they have been producing some top shelf Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for over a decade. This is serious stuff.
The Stoney Rise range is all about immediate drinking pleasure and boy have they nailed it here. It comes from 85% estate-grown fruit and 15% from Joe's growers, and it's a vibrant, refreshing, effortless style of Tasmanian Pinot.
More complexity than you'll almost ever see for Tassie Pinot at this price.

"Tamar Valley pinot noir, 85% estate grown. Such a lovely-smelling wine. Bright ruby in colour, with an array of exotic spice and amaro tones suffusing through the fruit notes of wild strawberry and dark cherry along with hints of star anise, leaf litter, hoisin, fermented smoked meats, char siu and earth. Spacious and finely poised with a gossamer, filigreed palate presence … all detail, complexity and sapid drive."

2024 Hughes & Hughes Pinot Noir
As the demand for fruit in Tasmania increases, so too are the prices. The top value Pinot Noirs are becoming rare as hens' teeth, but here's one that you can fill your boots with if you want a stylish Tassie Pinot that won't bust the bank.
This is fruit from the Coal River, Derwent and Tamar Valleys fermented in small batches in a bunch of different ways. Some whole bunch, some whole berry, lots of experimenting from winemaker Jonathan Hughes to see what works, then finally a blend of the best parts.
It's a great drink and remarkable value, all things considered. There just aren't many Pinots at this price from the Apple Isle that will deliver the interest and satisfaction of the Hughes & Hughes.
2023 Holm Oak Pinot Noir
Vintage after vintage, Holm Oak produces some of the best value for money Pinot Noirs in Australia. You simply cannot help but admire how much flavour and vivacity it packs in such a delicate number. It has moxie. It's the Little Engine That Could.
So, so pale in the glass. There is something about it which is just immediately enticing. Maybe it's the fragrance coming from the wine, maybe it's the knowledge that this is only the tip of the iceberg.
But the second you taste it you're utterly whisked away. It's very much a dancer, with delicate flavours of berries, spice and herbs flitting hither and thither. You can't help but smile.

"It was a pretty mild year in Tassie, contributing to a wine that is refined and so supremely elegant but with textured complexity setting it apart. The fruit was destemmed and wild fermented in open fermenters before racking to barrel for maturation in 25% new French oak and a mix of older oak for 10 months. There is a bright vibrant fruit character balanced with a dry chalky mouthfeel with primary notes of cherry and strawberry, dusted with a faint hint of Tamar earth."
- Ray Jordan (Wine Pilot)
2023 Wolfe at The Door Pinot Noir
Wolfe at the Door is the playful sibling to the Wellington & Wolfe Pinot Noir from Tasmania's Tamar Valley.
Crafted by winemaker Hugh McCullough, this Pinot Noir is sourced from two vineyards in the Tamar. It undergoes 15% whole bunch fermentation and rests in oak for just three months before bottling, ensuring a fresh, crunchy, and vibrant fruit profile.
It's a lovely little red that bursts with tart cherries and rhubarb, accented by notes of orange rind and Aperol. The palate is bright and lively, with a pleasant tannic crunch on the finish. It's a light-hearted wine designed for early drinking, and a great value entry point into the tasty world of Tassie Pinot Noir.

"Bright, sappy-edged red cherry, a slightly wild-eyed spice profile, amaro herbs, pressed wildflowers and crushed rocks. Very stony palate presence and an umami ache on the palate with a groovy watered-down-Ribena flavour on the tail end. There's a lot of drinking joy here; spicy, diaphanous and very moreish. Pithy texture and plenty of crunch too."
