About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirIndependent wineryTasmania is very well suited to growing and producing Pinot Noir with its cool-climate and excellent terroir. Temperate days and cool nights at Derwent Estate have produced a silky Pinot Noir that oozes class. A delicate mix of sweet and savoury fruits with a long lasting finish.

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Bright, aromatic, touched attractively by polished, smoky oak and juicy/tangy through the finish. Drinkability plus. Alive with fruit and exquisitely well balanced. Finish seems easy-going, making me think it’ll be best as an early-ish drinker, but its balance is so impeccable it could well surprise given time to mature in the cellar. Boysenberry, red/black cherries, mint and dried herbs. Lovely.
