2021LowestoftWoodlandsSingleVineyardPinotNoir

Sans Lowestoft is one of Tasmania’s most exciting producers, home to some of the region’s oldest vines, planted in 1986 just outside Hobart. Since Kiwi-born Liam McElhinney took the reins in 2020, the estate’s reputation has soared—most notably with La Maison Pinot Noir, which took out the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2023. With mature vines, precision winemaking and growing acclaim, Lowestoft is fast becoming a producer to watch in Tasmanian wine.Hand-picked and wild fermented with 10% whole clusters, the 2021 Woodlands Pinot saw gentle pumpovers and 15 days on skins before ageing 11 months in 500L French oak (30% new). Expect ripe raspberry and crimson cherry, with violet florals and cinnamon spice unfolding over a supple, velvety frame. A poised, elegant single-vineyard expression with fine structure and luminous depth.Alc. 13.5%
