Pinot Noir

While we continue to expand our collection of Burgundies, more and more new-world winemakers are coming to terms with this challenging variety. Australians have identified Geelong, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria as suited to premium Pinot Noir. More recently, Tasmania has shot up the ranks. Mount Mary, Farr Rising and Tolpuddle are names to seek out. New Zealand is also producing some compelling, full bodied wines. Look for regions like Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago.

2018 Two Paddocks Proprietors Reserve The First Paddock Pinot Noir

Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

While actors venturing into the world of wine is not a new occurrence, Sam Neil's Two Paddocks venture is perhaps more of a love affair than most. Sam is a humble man with farming in his blood, and is happier talking about his farm and winery than his acting career, and it's perhaps a welcome diversion that keeps him grounded. After starting out intending to produce a decent wine to serve to family and friends, the venture is aiming high with the hope of making the finest Pinot Noir in the country.

The First Paddock is the original, much loved Two Paddocks vineyard. Planted in 1993, it is now one of the older blocks in Central Otago. Superbly situated in the midst of upper Gibbston, planted in carefully selected Burgundian clone pinot noir vines and meticulously tended. This is a thoughtfully crafted expression of their foundation site.

Other Reviews....
There’s a sweetly smoky edge to this sappy and wildly fresh pinot that has attractive wild herbs, as well as a swirling array of rose flowers, blueberries, cherries and spices. The palate has exceptional polish and deeply layered fruit tannin, glazed with spicy oak nuances and holding long, fresh and silky. From organically grown grapes.

After starting out intending to produce a decent wine to serve to family and friends, the venture is aiming high with the hope of making the finest Pinot Noir in the country.

The Fusilier Vineyard is named in honor of Sam’s father, Major Dermot Neill, a soldier in the Royal Irish Fusilier Regiment for twenty years before returning home to Dunedin, New Zealand, where he ran the family Wine & Spirit business, Neill & Co. Planted entirely in 2000, The Fusilier is 5.6 hectares of pinot noir, on rolling northerly facing terraces at the western end of Felton Rd and bordered by the vineyard of the same name. Soils on the terraces consist of deep alluvial fans, which are made up of varying depths of silt, sand and gravel layering all derived from mountainous raw schist parent material.

Other Reviews....
Fresh aromas of red cherries and red-plum pastry here. This has very attractive, alluring style. On the palate, it has a very smoothly honed feel with rich red cherries, delivered in smooth and succulent mode. Long and silky finish, bathed in supple, ripe red-cherry flavors.

2020 Two Tonne TMV Pinot Noir

Tamar Valley, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$34. 99
Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Screw Cap

Two Tonne has been produced since 2013 by local Tamar Valley winemaker, Ricky Evans. Sourcing small parcels only, Ricky works with care and minimal intervention to produce an honest and clear snapshot of each individual vineyard.

Notes from the winery….
This wine is from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley (TMV). Beginning just south of Launceston the valley winds 50km north to its meeting point with the powerful Bass Strait. Produced from different sites, our intent with this wine is to reflect what we believe are the standout characteristics of the Tamar Valley sub region. Juicy and vibrant, when picked at the right time TMV pinot noir expresses red fruits and spice. There is softness within its warm heart, it leaves you with a trail of freshness and closes with strawberry seed-like tannin.

Three Wishes, Waverley, Jinglers Creek, Evandale Estate, Fishook and Woodlawn Park all contributed here, little parcels of fruit that span pretty much the whole valley. That makes this the most expansive version of TMV produced thus far. Patches from my own four sites joined forces with a couple of growers to paint my version of how I see this part of the world. I had heaps of little ferments, and kept clones separate within vineyards. There were different levels of bunchiness, ripeness, skin contact and lees work. 2020 was a tricky vintage across the state, especially in the Tamar. Perhaps this is a prettier, lighter expression than usual, but in the end it's just where I want it to be.

Notes from the winemaker…
Our EST (east) pinot noir is produced from different sites above and below the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania’s east coast. Together, these sites typify what makes this sub region so exciting. The rain shadow the vineyards sit in creates a warm and dry climate, moderated by its companion, the Tasman Sea. When picked on time, pinot noir from the Freycinet Coast displays a more structured style, it is bold & brave. This dovetails into a generous mid palate with graphite-like tannin structure.

This is from Maclean Bay (Bicheno) and Blackwood Estate (Cranbook)—two sites, one above the Freycinet Peninsula and one below. There were a few different picks here, firstly out of Cranbrook—it's warmer down there, hard dolerite soils with ironstone gravel sitting on top. Secondly, by a distance, Bicheno is directly influenced by the ocean and unprotected from the northerly breeze. This one takes a while and is basically the last parcel through the gates each year. Simple winemaking plays here, mostly destemmed ferments with a couple of small proper bunchy ones for the spice on top.

Other Reviews….
Bannockburn sits at the heart of one of the wine world's most promising Pinot locations outside Burgundy, and this dark, fragrant yet intensely fruited wine drew our judges' attention not just for the panache of its fruit but also for its intensity, drive, structure and resonance. The blackberry and plum fruits you can find on the nose are almost brooding, and a far cry from the sometimes simple appeal of the region's pioneer Pinots. On the palate it is mouth-filling and deep with high-resolution focus; the acidity is neither trivial nor shrill; the tannins are soft, but carry a useful flavour print. It's after you swallow, though, that you come to appreciate its sinew and ligament, its inner seriousness and its sheer completeness. Very fine Pinot by any measure.

A perfumed nose of red cherries, ripe strawberries, grated nutmeg, bark and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with silky, tightly-knit tannins. Succulent and generous on the palate with a wash of red and black fruit and berries oscillating and evolving through to a long finish. Oolong and chicory root add complexity and depth. Structured to age. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

2022 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Brunnen Pinot Noir

Beechworth, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$59. 99
Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown is the partnership of winemaker-viticulturist Tessa Brown and architect Jeremy Schmölzer, crafting wines from high-altitude vineyards in Beechworth and the King Valley. Their estate vineyard, Thorley, sits over 700m ASL and is farmed with organic practices in all but the most challenging years. Working with minimal intervention, they focus on purity, balance, and drinkability. The range includes single-site wines from Thorley, Brunnen, and Obstgarten, as well as their approachable Prêt-à series.
From a tiny, organically farmed vineyard directly opposite their Thorley site, Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown craft one of Beechworth’s most elegant Pinots. Planted in 1994 on their own roots, the vines thrive without irrigation in cold-climate conditions, producing fruit of purity and finesse. The 2022 is fragrant with red fruits, subtle earth and spice, and a fine, graceful structure—an exceptional regional example for lovers of quality Pinot Noir.

Other Reviews....
Beechworth pinot noir shines in a tough, cool and wet vintage – impressive! Structure is a prime feature here together with cool-climate pinot fruit, racy and super bright, jumping in cherry and red berries, bramble, earth and autumnal, leafy aromatics. Leads to a deep walk in the woods with earth and undergrowth, dried herbs, red berries and briar before a long glide to the finish, wrapped tightly in fine tannin and brisk acid crunch. Drink 2024-2032.

Jeni Port - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Tessa says “100% whole berry, all wild ferments of around 20-25 days duration. Mlf and ageing in barrique, one in four being new. 18 months in oak before racking and bottling“
A lovely lift of raspberry coulis draws you in, providing prettiness from the outset, followed by brown spice, decaying leaf, and earthy notes that keep you there. Red fruit notes emerge with air – red cherry liqueur, cranberry, red liquorice. There’s a savoury salty kick through it all adding interest and intrigue. Focused and pure, fine and complex. The palate is lithe and lifted with a good vein of immediate chalky tannins and a wash of acidity carrying the red fruits long. Cherry, cranberry, earth and subtle spice. A fine boned Pinot Noir with gentle but significant length.

2019 Vincent Dancer Pommard Les Perrieres

Burgundy, FRANCE
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Vincent Dancer runs a tiny operation based in chassagne-Montrachet where he crafts his wines from five hectares of well-situated vineyards. The winery is small even by the standards of Burgundy, and despite Dancer’s reclusive nature, the wines are well known to a small circle of restaurateurs and wine-lovers who reliably take their miniscule allocation year after year. Vincent is quietly individualistic, creating his own lean, bright, and savory style of wines, trusting his instincts and experience to make the best possible wine in his own way.

Driving south on the D974, Les Perrières sits under the famed Clos des Epeneaux and is the first Pommard vineyard on your right after you leave the commune of Beaune. Dancer farms almost one hectare of vines, planted in 2012. He works with very low yields to achieve the textural richness and seduction you’ll find here. It’s a darker, inkier wine than his Beaune bottlings, but it still offers lovely finesse and purity.

Other Reviews....
A more deeply pitched and equally fresh nose features aromas of plum, warm earth and dark cherry. There is excellent punch to the sleekly muscular middle weight flavors that possess impressive volume and focused power on the youthfully austere finish. This is an excellent Pommard villages that is worth considering. Drink 2026+.

Vincent is quietly individualistic, creating his own lean, bright, and savory style of wines, trusting his instincts and experience to make the best possible wine in his own way.

A very high-altitude, rocky site, Les Montrevenots is at the top of the hill on the Pommard boundary above Clos des Mouches. It’s a south-facing slope, which to some extent mitigates the vineyard’s altitude. Dancer’s parcel was planted in 1996. The white marl, limestone-rich soils here (quite different to the greater clay components of Dancer’s other red sites) tend to bring more perfume, raciness and powdery, fine structure.

Other Reviews....
Very fresh aromas are comprised by notes of red and dark berries that exhibit lovely spice wisps along with a background trace of earth. There is fine vibrancy to the intense, well-detailed flavors that terminate in a mildly austere bitter cherry suffused finish. As is usually the case, this is relatively fine and a wine that should drink reasonably well young if desired. Drink 2025+.

Bottle
$323.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2020-2024)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

The inspiration behind Vinea Marson stems from winemaker Mario Marson’s Italian winemaking heritage – stretching back some four generations. Mario’s grandfather grew and bottled Friulano, Cabernet and Merlot and his great-grandfather, Giuseppe Zaghet, was chief winemaker for the local landowner, the padrone of Villa Brunetta at Prata di Pordenone, based in Friuli, in the early twentieth century. This was transferred to suburban Melbourne where his migrant father, Giuseppe, planted rows of vines in their backyard to bring wine to the dinner table each night. Mario continued this tradition both as viticulturalist and winemaker for some twenty years in the Yarra Valley – mostly at Mount Mary Estate. In 2000, Mario and his wife Helen established an eight-hectare vineyard in the foothills of the Mount Camel Range at Heathcote bringing the traditions of the old world to winemaking in the new. Today, Mario works alongside his daughter Madeleine.

A gorgeous Yarra Valley Pinot.

Semi translucent bright dark red colour with subtle black tinges to the edges and a light red hue. Perfumed like aromatics of violets, ripe red cherries, strawberries and fresh herbs intermingle with forest floor and spicy cedar. Moreish flavours of ripe red cherries and strawberries infused with fresh herbs have a beautiful supple textural feel overlaying forest floor, a subtle meatiness and spicy cedar nuances. Excellent power wave with very polished tannins and ample freshness. Finishes long and savoury.

An obsession with a fickle varietal.

Once you experience it, you never forget it. For some wine lovers, Pinot Noir becomes an obsession. While promising one of world's greatest wine experiences, it can also deliver some of the most disappointing. What is it about Pinot that makes it so frustratingly variable? There are known quality factors which offer encouragement to winemakers. Micro-climates have been observed to play an important part in a successful matrix, particularly the diurnal temperature range. Pinot Noir is a little like Riesling, in the sense that it requires warm, but not overly hot days and cool nights to fully develop its maximum flavour potential. Sunshine hours, rainfall, time and rate of precipitation are all important. Countering this is the fact that the same clone will not respond to differences in micro-climate in the same way. Older vines make better wines. Creative and adaptive viticultural management and winemaking are essential. Buy Pinot Noir online. Any questions about our products or shipping?
