About this Wine

Vintage notes
The vintage started well, with above average rainfall and mild to warm days. Fruit set was lower than expected and ripening lagged so that vintage started approximately two weeks later than normal. Grape yields were around 30% down on average but as this wine attests with great flavours.

Vineyard notes
All fruit was sourced from mature vines with all vineyards established, from the 1980’s to 1990s. All family-owned and painstakingly tended by hand. Two of the three Coal River Valley vineyards are on dolerite soils and the third with Jurassic dolerite and basalt soils. The Tasman Peninsula vineyard is planted on red sandy and clayey soils with stony inclusions.

Winemaking
All fruit was hand-picked. Each individual parcel (three of Chardonnay, one of Pinot Noir) was gently pressed as whole bunches. Juices then cold-settled and carefully racked prior to fermentation in stainless steel. One of the chardonnay parcels underwent partial malolactic fermentation in old, small format barrels prior to blending.

Tasmanian Wine

The Tasmanian wine region is a cool climate region, the most southerly of all wine regions in Australia. Due to the lower temperatures, the area grows primarily Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, with smaller plantings of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Having been to many wine tastings over the years, I can definitely say from a personal standpoint that Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot noir are always ones I look forward to trying if they are on the menu. They are almost always high calibre wines that can easily compete against what the rest of the world has to offer in these varietals.” Jason C. – World Wine.

While Tasmania makes great still wines, the exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir also make for excellent sparkling wines.

More recent vintages since 2005 have been positively impacted by the effects of global warming. With slightly higher temperatures the grapes are ensured to ripen fully and produce more vibrant wine.
