James Halliday – A blend of 59/38/3% chardonnay/pinot noir/pinot meunier, all estate-grown Pipers River fruit; 40 months on lees, disgorged Jan ’02. Medium salmon in the glass with a fine, persistent bead. Awash with notes of red apple and redcurrant. Hints of crushed stone, cherry clafoutis, clotted cream and strawberry flan. There's a swell of dosage on the finish, placing it on the ridgeline of off-dry, but the finish is clean and carries nicely.

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.
