2020 Dalrymple Single Site Coal River Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

REVIEWS & AWARDS: 95 HALLIDAY

Since the first black cluster vines were available for purchase from Tasmania in 1827, Tasmania has been recognised as a producer of quality Pinot Noir. It was the sloping hills overlooking Bass Strait that made the site unique and inspired the Hill-Smith family to purchase the vineyard, along with distinct single sites around Tasmania in their pursuit to produce the perfect single site Pinot. While low rainfall and drying winds are characteristics of the Coal River Valley, the sunshine provides our wines with a naturally deeper colour and concentration of fruit with fine acidity.

Alluring aromas of red cherries, forest floor, liquorice and flint adorn purple raspberry and violets. The palate is layered with plump red berries and spice, tightly wound by fine natural acidity and silky tannins, a hallmark of this site. A wine of power and restraint that will continue to develop.
