Derwent Estate Lime Kiln Pinot Noir
Tasmania’s south has emerged as a pinot noir powerhouse. This is fruit harvested from three vineyards, ensuring only the best quality goes into the end product. The wine is marked first and foremost by amazing aromatics; rose petals and spice overlapping raspberry coulis and winter strawberry. Wet earth and even some petroleum sneak in, adding layers to the experience. It demands a second and third pass under the nose, each time a new leaf lifted and a new aroma revealed - a surefire mark of quality in fruit and winemaking both. On the pallet the red and blue fruit come alive - vibrant and bountiful. The acid sits low in the mouth, and the fruit kind of dances along the back of it. Mushrooms, a glimmer of soy, Turkish delight, rose petal. A superb wine smack dab in the middle of its drinking window - enjoy now and over the next few years.
