Now this is special. Sourced from the Tamar River and drier East Coast regions, this small but perfectly formed and attractive range of wines are made at the Rosevear Estate which looks out over the Tamar River estuary north of Launceston on the Northern side of the island.
Dr Richard Smart (viticulturalist) and Dr Andrew Pirie (winemaker), both of world renown and industry recognition, are responsible for turning in quality fruit and making premium wines.
This Pinot Noir has the character we'd normally expect from a Burgundy in the £12-£16 price bracket. Quite soft and velvety, it nonetheless holds a lot of fruit and has great deal of depth. There is plenty of complexity too, not least from a lovely balanced tannic structure. The 07 Pinot Noir is an attractive wine which does a great deal to reinforce Tasmania's claim as one of the few genuine heartlands for Pinot Noir outside of the Cote d'Or.
