2024 Tasmanian Nouveau Pinot Noir

The Bird in Hand Tasmanian Series is a limited release, crafted to harness the cool-climate terroir and produce wines of distinct character and elegance. It is an ode to winemaking in the rugged wilderness of Australia’s final frontier.

Grapes were sourced from a carefully selected block on the western bank of the River Tamar in northern Tasmania. This unique site is renowned for its cool climate and well drained gravel soils, which promote fresh acidity and vibrant fruit expression in Pinot Noir.

Lightly crushed with a portion of whole clusters, fermentation is gentle to extract light colour and tannins. Wine is pressed into a mix of stainless steel and old French oak barrels for maturation, to ensure the vibrant fruit character is preserved. 

This vibrant ruby-red wine entices with aromas of red raspberries, delicate florals, fresh herbs, and a touch of spice. The palate follows suit, revealing bright red cherries, tangy red currants, lively acidity, and smooth, supple tannins.
