  6 Tasmania wineries Dec-19; 12/27/2018-1/2/2019 (Tasmania): {screwcap, A$50} 50% ferment on skins, 50% in barrel and left on lees; it’s about texture and not competing with Marlborough! There’s some gooseberry and the tiniest hint of tropical fruit on the nose, but also some leesy character and expected oak. The palate is tangy with medium/high acidity, medium weight, some skin character tannins, quince sweetness, and a dry, medium length finish. Not too much oak. Aging is a mystery. I remember hearing about the intent to take the SB away from the commercial style a couple of years ago; this is the impressive result.
