Meadowbank Pinot Noir 2023

Classic Tasmanian pinot noir from a great year. Complex red summer fruits. Floral, roses and lavender, with sweet and savoury spice, compost, pine needles and smoke. Plenty of volume and shape, the fruit succulent and juicy – balanced by darker, savoury elements. So much textural flavour complexity, the wine a shape shifter in the glass. The tannins firm, becoming slick, supported by tangy acids. Very, very good. Norris at Waters Wine Co

“Another cracking Peter Dredge pinot noir from Gerald Ellis’ Meadowbank vineyard in the Derwent Valley. Light and bright in colour with fragrant aromas of red cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruits with a whiff of watermelon. Hints of exotic spice and twiggy complexity along with ginger cake, pressed wildflowers, dried meats, softly spoken oak and earth. Spacious with an inflow of amaro and dried citrus rind on the palate, finishing powdery in tannin with a slightly wild look in its eyes.” 95 points – Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion

“Deeply perfumed aromas of crush blackberries, dark cherries, decaying bark and cured meat. The palate is finely integrated with focused acidity and a creamy texture, giving notes of orange peel, dried herbs, boysenberries and spices. A nice balance between fresh fruit and savory notes coming from 35% whole-cluster fermentation. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” 95 points & Top 100 Australian Wines of 2024 – James Suckling

“Complex aromas of cherry, dried herbs, spice, sap, underbrush, earth and bramble. There’s plenty of fleshy blue and red fruits here, along with some bunchy funk and lift. The fruit is vibrant, textured and layered and there’s lovely, firm, shapely tannins and snappy acidity.” 95 points – Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
