2020 Freycinet Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml

The vibrant palate is smooth and even with an abundance of ripe berry and plum flavours intermingled with sweet oak nuances, fine savoury tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Silky texture and gamey, intriguing forest floor characteristics will develop with careful cellaring over 10 to 20 years. A magnificent wine reflecting the unique terroir of a very special site.

Inspired by the finer end of the red Burgundy spectrum, Tasmania has the cool climate and conditions to produce some of the best Pinot in the country, and the winemakers at Freycinet know it. Their flagship wine has all the hallmarks of cool climate, Tasmania Pinot concentration, complexity and great length.

The vines are managed with a diligence which borders on obsession. The fruit is hand picked at harvest, lightly crushed and destemmed before fermentation with small quantities of whole bunch fruit. The resulting wine shows dark red fruit, spice and a subtle profile of game and truffle.
