Wine Information
Sourced exclusively from the Coal River region of Tasmania, this classic pinot noir and chardonnay blend delivers cool climate vibrancy, complexity and intensity.
Vibrant and enticing aromas greet the nose with jasmine, warm cashews and zesty citrus. Toasty yeast notes are complemented with classic flint and wet river stone character. In the mouth, crisp green apple and nashi pear freshness from the chardonnay meld seamlessly with yeast autolysis which provides a creamy silkiness that continues throughout. Hints of camomile and brioche along with pinot noir characters of raspberry, spice and pomegranate complete the sensation and complement the refreshing minerality. A wine of great persistence for any occasion.
The grapes for the Tasmanian Cuvée were sourced from the single 20 hectare Tolpuddle vineyard in the Coal River Valley, south-east of Hobart. Planted to pinot noir and chardonnay, the vineyard is influenced by the maritime climate and weather patterns from the Southern Ocean, creating cool night and day time temperatures which allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop intense and complex flavours. The top soils have a very high sand content whilst the subsoil is dense clay. The vineyard is trained to the standard vertical shoot positioning trellis to minimise the development of phenolics and tannins whilst maintaining vibrancy of flavour, with a yield of approximately six tonnes per hectare.
