Brightly coloured with youthful purple tones, aromas of bold spicy black cherry bouquet with hints of raspberries The wine displays a richly textured, sweet-fruit middle palate with soft, ripe tannins and fresh acidity on the finish to provide structure and length. Age 1-3 years and serve in a big glass to capture the perfume.
The evolution of this wine reflects a desire to show faithfully the style and intensity of Upper Tamar Valley Pinot Noir in a young wine that is still delicate and fresh enough to bring to life the flavours of Tasmanian salmon and soft cheeses.
SOUTH is about producing fresh, aromatic wines to complement modern food styles, using the finesse of northern Tasmanian fruit. The combination of a truly cool climate and summer rainfall, features which we share with northern France and New Zealand, make Tasmania particularly well suited to the production of these earlydrinking wine styles.
