2022 Glaetzer-Dixon Avance Pinot Noir

Nick Glaetzer began his winemaking journey with his family in the Barossa Valley, following with vintages in the Languedoc, the Pfalz, Margaret River, the Riverland, Sunraysia, the Hunter Valley and Burgundy. In 2005 Nick landed in Tasmania, searching for cool-climate, super-premium vineyards; perfect for crafting Pinot Noir, Riesling and savoury Shiraz. The concept behind his Avance Pinot came from Nick’s experience working and travelling through many winemaking regions on the European Continent which gave him an insight into the lighter wine styles, keenly sought after by the local village people for their fresh fruit driven flavours.
Semi translucent dark red core with black shaded edges and a red to dark red tinged hue. Alluring violet led aromas of dark cherries, rhubarb and anise sail through the nostrils followed by dried clove and spicy cedar notes. Rich spicy black cherry, anise and rhubarb flavours infused with dried clove are layered across the palate like an expanding peacocks tail. Brambly dried herb elements and spicy cedar also chime in. Supplely textured and concentrated it has velvet smooth tannins and finishes fresh, long and very savoury.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
