About this Wine

Trophy – Best Tasmanian Pinot Noir
International Wine Challenge London 2021

The eighth release of the single vineyard Pinot Noir from the Meadowbank vineyard in the upper Derwent Valley in Southern Tasmania. Grapes came from MV6 and Pommard clone vines planted in 1989.

Dawson James Pinot Noir is sourced from some of the original vines planted on the Meadowbank vineyard in the Derwent Valley. The MV6 and Pommard clone vines, planted in 1989, make them some of the most mature vines producing wine in Tasmania today. We value the grapes from these mature vines for the depth, texture and structure that they contribute.

Tasting Notes:
Bright clear crimson-purple; a very good pinot, the bouquet fragrant and complex, the palate joining in the mix of dark cherry and truffled plum fruits, spice and whole bunch tannins. The fruit has absorbed 40% new Taransaud oak without batting an eyelid but enjoying the ride through to the aftertaste

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.
