2022 HADDOW + DINEEN PRIVATE UNIVERSE PINOT NOIR
2022 HADDOW + DINEEN PRIVATE UNIVERSE PINOT NOIR
Hand-picked, 50% whole bunch fermented, wild yeast, unfined and unfiltered.
Low crops from silica quartz soil produce intense dark cherry and wild red fruit aromas, with spice and herb characters coming from the whole bunch fermentation. Intricate red fruit and spice flavours flourish in a rich palate with savoury finish and fine, grainy tannins.
Powerful yet subtle, evocative, generous, layered and structured.
And it's a pleasure that I have known.

OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINIONS
Nick Ryan, The Australian:
Dark berries, a mix of red and black, a sour cherry edge, too. There’s a dusting of souk spices and some dried herb characters, cherry pie and a soft suggestion of smoke.
There’s a gorgeous suppleness to the palate. a fleshiness that’s never fat. It’s vibrant and fresh, layered and deeply detailed, with a fanning tail of superfine softly grainy tannins driving a long finish.
The top tier of Tasmanian pinot noir has just increased in its number by one.
