Established in 1979 by Geoff and Susan Bell, Freycinet were early viticultural pioneers on the East Coast of Tasmania. Consistently delivering some of Tasmania's finest wines, these continue to be 100% grown, produced and bottled on the family-owned estate.
The 2023 Freycinet Pinot Noir displays all the trademark power, concentration, complexity and great length of only the best Tasmanian Pinot Noir. Alluring aromas of spice and black cherries, ripe raspberries and plum fruits combine with a subtle perfume of game, truffle and cedar. The vibrant palate is smooth and even with an abundance of ripe berry and plum flavours intermingled with sweet oak nuances, fine savoury tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Silky texture and gamey, intriguing forest floor characteristics will develop with careful cellaring over 10 to 20 years.
"93 Points. A little deeper fruit this year: wild strawberry, raspberry, dark cherry and a touch of cranberry. Hints of exotic spice and hints of meadow flowers, rhubarb, amaro, dried shiitake, leaf litter, tamari, pomegranate and earth. Quite sweetly fruited and concentrated, everything nicely in balance with fine, chalky tannins, bright, lacy acidity and a swell of spiced strawberry and dark cherry fruits on the finish. 13.8% alc. Drink: 2025 - 2035. Screwcap. $70"- Dave Brookes, winecompanion.com.au.
