Description
"This wine's predecessor took out a rather huge accolade, winning 'Best Pinot Noir' at the 2023 Australian Pinot Noir Challenge. It then sold out in record time and we haven't had any pinot to share with you for the past 5 months! But never fear, our new pinot is officially here - say hello to the pinnacle red wine from our vineyard, the 2023 Meadowbank Pinot Noir. Think flavour, finesse and even more flavour! This wine has everything you could want from a pinot. It's smooth, silky and elegant on the palate, with a mouth-watering hit of freshness that makes you thirsty for more. The vibrant strawberry and cherry aromas erupt from the glass, as the complex layers of flavour continue to reveal themselves long after the first sip. All of this is beautifully balanced with an earthy minerality that speaks volumes about the cold and slightly wild conditions that sweep through our hidden valley." - Winemaker Notes
"I’m thinking 2023 was a very good year for Tasmanian Pinot Noir. It fairly pops with red cherry and ripe strawberry, there’s also some spice, dried flowers and something a little bit earthy, like brown mushrooms, with a just a hint of smoky reduction. It’s juicy and succulent, with cool balanced acidity, and if you swish it around in your mouth, there’s fine emery board tannin that feels very nice, along with a pleasantly sappy edge. The finish is long, spicy and sweetly fruited. It’s lovely now, though likely better again with a couple more years under its belt." - 95 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
