Winewise Tasmania Tasting - ★★★★★ (Top Pinot Noir!)
This is a powerful dark cherry Pinot Noir showing a caress of oak. It’s a wine of considerable depth, length and structure in the manner of a Côte de Nuits burgundy like Morey-St-Denis.

I’m in luck here with a sneaky pre-release of the 2019 vintage. The 2018 is still currently available and offers excellent value.

Maraschino cherry, raspberry jube, lipstick, softer earthier influences of smoky beets tempered by roast walnut, stalky thyme, grated dark chocolate, rose petals and day-old orange peel. The palate initially supple and flowing before narrowing fine and tight. Scorched citrus rind, cherry flesh, tacky tannins, abundant youthful spice and a long herbal echo. Cognisant that this is a pre-release, my score reflects the here and now for a wine still maturing.

This is quite something. Exquisite. Elegant. I don't see as much Tasmanian wine as I'd like, but when little producers like this land on the doorstep, you get a sense the landscape needs far more exploration.

Sourced from the Coal River Valley, 17% whole bunches saw wild fermentation, 16 days on skins and just under 10 months in French oak (20% new).

Cedar caught my attention early but this blows off. Drenched with sour cherry and rhubarb, there are plenty of savoury autumnal feels driven by dried leaves and twiggy things. The bottle says it is velvety and its mouth feel is exactly that. Some blue fruits chime in late with time in the glass before a long finish laced with fine spices having the last word. Undoubted beauty.

The Wine Front - 91 Points
Purple and youthful in the glass, this is a juicy and very drinkable Tassie Syrah. Plums, damsons, black olives, ripe black currants and blackberries on the nose with sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg joining in on the palate. Around 40% of the fruit has come from 46 year-old vines in the Derwent Valley, Tassie Syrah is not a new fad by any stretch. There’s a bit of wild ferment, a bit of whole bunch, 10 months of 20% new oak and a whole lot of fun. The supple tannins and fresh acidity balance really well with the dark fruits, garrigue, white pepper, pepper berry quince paste and inky violet flavours which make this an eminently smashable cool-climate Syrah.

Many Tasmanian vineyards are too cool for shiraz to ripen consistently but care and attention in the vineyard and some smart winemaking from Greer Carland have produced a very attractive young Derwent Valley Syrah that's full of the joys of youth and chock-a-block with spicy, peppery characters alongside some vibrant - and very varietal - fruit notes. This is a deliciously poised cool-climate red using a fair swag of older vine fruit. The juice spent 16 days on skins and was maturation in French oak (20% new) for just under 10 months. Medium-bodied with 13% abv, judiciously put together with soft red fruit flavours and supple tannins this is well worth seeking out for anyone who enjoys Tasmanian wines.

Quiet Mutiny is an exciting project from Greer Carland, formerly of Winemaking Tasmania and now the deft maker of Laurel Bank wines in the Derwent Valley.

Born and raised there, Carland knows the district in intimate detail.

In making this very attractive, fruit-forward Shiraz (aka Syrah), grapes from 40-year-old vines have been given kid-glove treatment to showcase the juicy vibrancy the variety can show in favourable vintages.

Despite its deep, inky colour, the wine is eminently drinkable now, with delicious blackberry, blueberry and white pepper notes all playing in perfect harmony.

Viticulture

The 2020 growing season was an exciting year that brought many challenges
but was ultimately very rewarding. The season started with a cooler spring
along with a cool summer. The decrease in temperature allowed the vines to
ripen slowly and prolonged the harvest period. This permitted the grapes to
retain acidity and has led to increased flavour and aromatics.
The Pinot Gris is sourced from the Glengarry vineyard situated in
the Tamar Valley, Tasmania.

WINEMAKING

Harvested in April of 2020, the grapes were hand
harvested and gently processed in the winery they were
destemmed into fermenters and left on skins for 4 days. Once the
desired colour and texture were achieved. The grapes were gently
basket pressed and split into two parcels, one to ferment in French
oak while the other to ferment in stainless steel tank. The wine was
matured for 6 months and then blended together to tank for
bottling. Minimal fining and filtration were utilised.
No animal products were used in the production of this wine.

Tasting NOTES

The bouquet opens with a floral blossom followed by notes of
ginger and grapefruit pith. On the palate the wine gives hints of
baked apple and cinnamon, while also showing a very crisp and fresh
liveliness, the finish is smooth and balanced.

The 2019 growing season was a scorcher of a year. The year started with a cool
spring and then summer ramping up to some of the warmest months
on record. Due to all this warm weather vintage began early. The Riesling
grapes are sourced from a Loira vineyard situated in the Tamar Valley,
Tasmania.

This wine was harvested on April 1st, 2019. The grapes were hand
harvested and gently processed in the winery. They were
destemmed into fermenters and left on skins for 1 day. The grapes
were then gently basket pressed and moved to stainless steel tanks
for fermentation. The wine was matured for 4 months in stainless
steel. Minimal fining and filtration were utilised.
No animal products were used in the production of this wine.
The nose on the wine bursts with fresh lemon and granny smith apple.
As the bouquet of the wine starts to open, one can find bits of
talc and oyster shell with a beautiful finish of white floral afternotes.
On the palette there is blood orange and pink grapefruit.
The wine finishes with a hint of honey, and a fresh bright
mineral like acidity.

Tasting Notes
The aromas at first are all about pears from ripe pears to sweet dried pears to spiced pear cake. Fragrant bath salts are hooking up with aromatic brown lime cordial and lemon sherbet. Firstly on the palate there are layers of delicious pears embraced in a round and creamy textural mouthfeel. Sweet citrus notes appear with the slightly steely flavour of tinned apricots and pineapple. There is a clean and bright citrus finish that lingers on and on.
Vineyard Notes
The 2019 Cloudy but Fine Chardonnay is made with high quality A graded fruit from a low yielding vineyard in the Adelaide Hills GI.
Production Notes
Charlie stopped the winemaking process of stabilising the wine because it tasted so awesome he didn’t want the wines gorgeous notes to be lost. This is why the wine looks cloudy. Cloudy but Fine.

An awesome blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Zinfandel.
The noise from the glass is all about juicy red berry fruit and spice.
