Barringwood vineyard is located on a steep north facing slope overlooking the Don Valley in Tasmania's central North. Established in 1993 the vineyard rises to an elevation of 280m and has one of the longest growing seasons in Tasmania producing wines with delicacy, elegance and immense complexity as well as a distinct backbone of cool climate acidity. Their success in producing outstanding wines on a climatically marginal site is dependent on supreme diligence and attention to detail in the vineyard.

Light, supplely textured, vibrant and very savoury this has all the hallmarks of great Tassie Pinot Noir.

Semi translucent dark cherry red colour with a bright crimson hue. Very fragrant aromas of ripe red cherries, cranberries and strawberries sail from the glass with an over hang of violets followed by hints of anise, lightly smoked cedar and spicy fresh herb end notes. Delicious flavours of ripe red and dark cherries, strawberries and subtle anise flow gracefully across a supplely textured palate underscored by traces of dried meats and spicy cedar. Excellent power wave finishing with vibrant, refreshing acidity and velvet smooth tannins. Long aftertaste of ripe dark and red cherries, strawberries, anise, a subtle meatiness and spicy cedar.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
