Pipers Brook Vineyard
Pinot Noir
Tasmania, Australia
Pale crimson in colour - nearly transparent. Has that luscious mouthfeel typical of many Tasmanian Pinot. Great palate intensity. Cherry with some stemmy herbal notes. One of those wines where the pale colour doesn’t prepare you for the profound palate intensity. Only 20% whole bunches in the ferment which shows sensitive intuitive winemaking. Winner of the Trophy for the best Pinot Noir at Royal Adelaide and also at Royal Hobart Wine Shows. Incredible value for such a highly awarded wine: 6 bottles @ $39.95 each. Luckily I have 3 bottles left. Plan to have one each year - 2027, 2028 and 2029.

Aug 12th, 2025Pale to mid Ruby in colour with great clarity. Aromatic red and black Cherry notes with rose petals. A stalky whole bunch note with a little spice. Those fresh cherry notes of medium weight but medium plus intensity transfer through to the palate. Very fresh, young with great potential for future complexity. I can see why it won the Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at both Royal Adelaide and Royal Hobart - both shows with extensive and high quality Pinot entries. Too young but I had to try the first of 6. Next in a year plus. Technical background: (whole berry ferments with 20% whole bunches. Aged in 25% new puncheons and Barriques). Ended up having the 2nd bottle 195 weeks later on 25th October 2024. Just a stunning Pinot Noir and even improving on that 2 Trophies standard.

£20 Tas Pinot that worked better with food 👍 would go lovely with crispy plum duck or a tagine 😁 Stonewall NZ @ £12 is better value 😉 or stretch to a £25 Felton Rd 🤔 but still a decent drop 😎
🍷 Cherry red
👃 Smokey bacon infused cherry cola w/ summer red berries, soggy earth, farmyard & light oak
👄 Light-Med body of zingy tart red cherry & fresh red summer fruits in med+ acidity
🎯 Med+ length light tart red cherry & berries zing
