2021 Bay of Fires Pinot Noir

See wine details

The perfume of this wine is very complex, sweet ripe strawberry fruit features with Chinese Spice from MV6 cloned vineyards and whole bunch influence - star anise, cinnamon plum blossom. Although elegant and supple, the wine shows remarkable power, intensity and length on the palate. Framed by ripe, moderate tannin the graceful sweet strawberry fruit is complemented but not dominated by spice. Overall the wine has wonderful poise and balance with remarkable length of flavour as all great Pinot Noirs should

The 2021 Vintage in Tasmania was a classic cool season. A wet winter set us up well for the growing season, aided by a dry November with neither frost nor wine causing an issue. A cooler season led to slow ripening where the vines enjoyed regular rainfall. A later start and longer ripening period resulted in wines that are full of flavour, rich in concentration and supported by creamy mid-palate weight. Pinot is very strong the full range of flavour spectrum from red to dark and violet fruit, supported by ripe tannin profiles and a silky texture. A very promising year indeed. Perfect with masterstock duck

Cellaring Potential: In sound cellaring conditions this wine should develop well over the next 5-10 years
