2023 Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir Huldufolk
Sailor Seeks Horse is a tiny vineyard that's one of Australia’s most southerly, located in the Huon valley in southern Tasmania. Owners Paul and Gilli Lipscombe have brought considerable vineyard and winemaking experience to this venture, and they've been producing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay here for over a decade.
The Huldufolk label is reserved for exceptional parcels of Chardonnay and/or Pinot Noir, and the name means ‘hidden people’ in Icelandic having has its origins in 19th century folklore. 2023 Huldufolk Pinot Noir is all 115 clone.

Other Reviews....
Huldufolk, the third of the trio of Sailor Seeks Horse pinot noirs, is 100% clone 115, destemmed, 12 months in oak, 13% new. Light ruby in the glass with delicately poised aromas of redcurrant, red plum and cranberry fruits. Like the '22, it's a beautifully choreographed wine; fruit, spice, the floral and terrestrial are all in step with a vibrant energy and lip-smacking sapidity. Detailed and savoury with a swell of umami as the wine slowly recedes, it's another cracking release for SSH. Drink 2024-2036.
