Dalrymple Estate sits in a vale 160 metres above Bass Strait in the Pipers River region of Tasmania. An easterly aspect, red basalt soils, natural flora and cool sea breezes, all combine to encourage the slow and even ripening of grapes, allowing their natural flavours to gently meander and develop to optimum vinous levels.
This 2022 Dalrymple Pinot Noir displays a deep, dark garnet in colour with deep purple hues. Intense aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and ripe plum dominate the more subtle spices and dried herbs that become more complex as the wine opens after several hours. Juicy plum and dark fruits on the palate are courtesy of a low yielding, long growing season. Tannins are bold and round, balanced with fine natural acidity and a long finish of blue fruits and five spice.
"93 Points. No one loses with this in the glass. What an engaging and super tasty Pinot Noir we have here from Dalrymple. A blend of fruit from Pipers River, Coal River and Ouse, this is a wonderfully varietal wine. Red cherries, blackberry leaf and a lick of plum fold into autumnal things - tilled earth, undergrowth, dried leaves and twigs. Fine spices are pinned to the edges with a flash of blood orange late. It's a great wine to kick back with as the afternoon shadows get longer. Drink to five years."- Q Wine, 09 Oct 2023.
