One wouldn’t think of Australia when looking for a fine Pinot noir. One also wouldn’t think it comes from one of the coldest environments for Pinot noir but Tasmania is far south off the coast of Australia. This tastes like it could come from New Zealand. Very distinct and very fine. — 7 years ago

A very good #aussiechardonnay drinking at its peak at 10 years. Fruit sourced from cool climate regions - Tasmania and Tumbarumba. All parts have come together - if not a trifle oaky. — 10 years ago

A lovely aromatic perfume showing cherry and some stemmy characters but more fruit driven than gamey earthy notes. A medium + intensity palate - supple and smooth. Not built for extended cellaring. A delicious wine and since 2012 has put Tasmanian Pinot on the International stage being a favourite of Jancis Robinson. Owned by Shaw and Smith and vinified in the Adelaide Hills would you believe. I was talking to the Tolpuddle viticulturist in Launceston last Saturday who said it takes only 24 hours for the grapes to get from the Coal River in Tasmania in refrigerated containers, by truck and ship to the winery in Adelaide Hills South Australia. They have found the cooling of the grapes has added to the quality of the wine. Suckling has just given the 2017 vintage 99 points - Good Luck getting a bottle when it is released in mid September!! Drank my last bottle 45 weeks later on 13th June 2019 and it was amazing. At its peak. Perfect balance of whole bunch influence, restrained oak and savoury red fruits. An annual purchase for me and 96 points on this latest tasting. — 7 years ago

Colour: Slightly transparency, ruby-violet
Nose: Interesting and opulent and rich bouquet of spices: roasted meat with tones of rosemary, sage, time – extremely aromatic and spicy overall. Secondly comes fruit note (strawberry, cherries), wood spices. It's quite meaty to the nose, still refined nevertheless.
Palate: Light and pleasant, smooth in tannins, not too acid but still lovely to drink. Subtle and sexy, slightly warmer in the finish. Supple, mellow wine – with a refined and clear character.

No pox on this one, mate. From Derwent Valley, Tasmania. Light touch of French Oak, really vibrant. Love this wine. 13%ABV, fully ripe and not at all contrived. Beautiful balance and keeps getting better in the glass. — 8 years ago

Love this sparkling wine. We had it at our wedding in 2003. It is difficult to get in the US now. I picked this one up in Tasmania at the winery a few years ago and it is complex, well blended, depth of flavor, some toasted nuts in the nose, and flavor, a bit of smoke. Went very well with sushi appetizer and had enough body, depth, and interest for the full New Years evening meal. Wonderful way to celebrate the new year. Will be 14 years of wedded bliss this may — 9 years ago
