Region: Tasmania 

Variety: Pinot Meunier 

What's in the glass: Fruit was sourced from the Strelley Farm vineyard in the Coal River Valley. The grapes were harvested on 7th April and destemmed into open-top fermenters. Gentle hand plunging twice daily aimed to retain the delicate floral aromas rather than macerating heavily and extracting excess tannin. On 16th April, the wine was pressed off to large-format seasoned French oak and given five months in barrel before bottling.

Light ruby red colour with a touch of purple at the rim. Raspberry and bramble aromatics. Raspberry, rosemary and beetroot leaf on the palate, zippy acidity keeps it fresh with a hint of polished lift. Decent length and drive, built around acidity rather than tannins, and it will suit drinking with a bit of chill. 90 points.
