Sam Connew has always had a thing for Pinot. The spark first lit during her time in Oregon, but it was Tasmania - and a windswept block of vines in the Coal River Valley - that gave her the canvas to really explore it. The Stargazer Pinot Noir has since become one of those wines we look forward to every year, and the 2024 release might be her most complete yet.
Sourced entirely from her Palisander vineyard at Tea Tree, the wine brings together older Wadenswil vines planted in 2002 with more recent additions of Abel, MV6 and Dijon clones. Fermented with a quarter whole bunch and raised in French puncheons (30% new), it’s a careful, thoughtful build that lets the vineyard do the talking.
Sam's Pinot sits in that sweet spot between generosity and finesse. Aromas of red cherry, pomegranate and violets lift out of the glass, with spice and sarsaparilla adding intrigue. The palate is supple and flowing, with silky tannins and bright acidity carrying the fruit long and fine. There’s a touch of savoury depth tucked in among the prettiness, a reminder of Coal River Valley’s quiet power.
As ever, quantities are small and demand is high - this is one of Tasmania’s great Pinot stories in a bottle.

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.
