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\u003ca title=\"2023 Woodlawn Waverley Vineyard Pinot Noir\" href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-woodlawn-waverley-vineyard-pinot-noir\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2023 Woodlawn Three Wishes Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThree Wishes is a well-established, extremely isolated site on the eastern bank of the Tamar, planted by the Whish-Wilson family in 2000. Ricky Evans has been working with it since 2015. Sheltered from Bass Strait winds and warmed by its north-east aspect and proximity to the river, it's the warmest site in his vineyard portfolio, producing mature, low-yielding fruit with ample flavour and tannin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe vineyard is planted to two clones: D5V12, which is picked early for red fruit character and perfume, and MV6, harvested a little later for depth and structure. Close to 40% whole bunch went into the ferment, with 11 months in French oak (mostly second and third fill) before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 2023 reflects a slightly cooler vintage, which shows in a more savoury, composed character. It's restrained and fine-boned, with spice, dark fruit and good chalky acidity that holds everything together through a long finish. There's real complexity here, and the structure to develop well in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"2023 Woodlawn Three Wishes Vineyard Pinot Noir\" href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-woodlawn-tasmania-three-wishes-pinot-noir\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2023 Woodlawn Park Vineyard Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Park Vineyard is the home block at Woodlawn - established on Ricky Evans' family farm, the site of the winery itself, on free-draining aeolian sands over a gentle north-facing slope above beautiful Swan Bay. Afternoon breezes off the bay cool the vines through summer, giving the site a moderate microclimate that suits Pinot well. This is the debut release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe vineyard is planted to four clones: MV6, Pommard, 115 and Abel, each handled separately in the winery. The 115 is picked early for brightness, MV6 goes through varied cultural treatments for complexity, Pommard delivers a savoury character from this site, and Abel adds flesh and juiciness. Lots of small individual ferments, with only a selection of barrels making the final blend. Eleven months in French oak, mostly second and third fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's a spiced, aromatic Pinot with a savoury, earthy edge, fine structure and real length. There's both complexity and elegance here for a debut release, reflecting the range of clonal material and the natural character of the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn exciting new chapter in the Woodlawn and Ricky Evans story!\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"2023 Woodlawn Park Vineyard Pinot Noir\" href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-woodlawn-park-vineyard-pinot-noir\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlawn Tasmania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45239879598123,"sku":"Woodlawn Tamar Pinot Noir Masterclass Pack","price":199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/WoodlawnTamarPinotNoirMasterclassPack.webp?v=1788401086","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/woodlawn-tamar-pinot-noir-masterclass-pack","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
