Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Chardonnay
Fresh & generous, when picked on time there is a lovely sea spray character which carries you into perfectly ripe peach & lemon curd on the palate. Partial malo lactic fermentation, the acid is pure and lon Two sites (both mine) are relatively far apart - 3 Wishes (as above) and Domaine RB which is back near Launceston, kinda white hills - a low yielding, previously derelict vineyard. 3 Wishes was picked fairly early, in the effort to keep it crispy, then I let it roll through malo to take the edge off. All was left on lees, no sulphur over the winter, assembled and then left on fine lees for a bit longer. Completes the quartet of easily the best set of sub-regionals I've managed to squeeze out. Two Tonne Tasmania began in 2013, when a young local winemaker, nudged into the tightly held Tamar Valley by sourcing literally a couple of tonnes of Pinot Noir. This project is all about eking out small parcels of fruit, giving them lots of love, finding their true potential. Previously Winemaker at Bay of Fires, Ricky Evans' solo project is sourced from a diverse range of interesting & unique vineyards in the Tamar Valley and East Coast of Tasmania. Most of these are either leased and managed by himself, or he has a strong connection and involvement with. Two Tonne Tasmania was a Top 12 finalist in Young Gun of Wine in 2016, 2017 & 2018, and took home the peoples choice award in 2016.
