Description
Delamere Vineyards is one of Tasmania’s longest running family owned and operated wine estates, focused on producing distinguished sparkling (Methode Traditionelle) and still wines from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties. Nestled amongst the cool maritime slopes of Pipers River, in north eastern Tasmania, the vineyard was first established in 1982 placing it amongst the oldest vineyards in the region. With 6.5ha of grapes now established on the property, the age of the vineyard makes it a rare resource in Tasmania, and valuable due to the significant increase in wine quality associated with mature vines. The winery is owned and run by husband and wife vigneron’s Shane Holloway and Fran Austin (formerly of Bay of Fires).
About this wine from the winemakers: “Tasmania is the playground of the adventurous, with a plethora of creative opportunities. Flyleaf provides us with a blank page to explore alternative sites and start a new story. The epitome of elegance with ripe cherry and strawberry fruit. A subtle earthiness followed by complex toasted sweet spice.”
92 points,Dave Brookes, Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion “A bright, flighty pinot noir with fruit tones of red cherry, redcurrant and mulberry along with hints of Medina spice, rose petals, wildflowers, undergrowth, some liminal glimpses of amaro, dried shiitake, crushed stone and undergrowth. Taut and vividly energetic, with fine, sandy tannins and a brisk, minerally maritime cadence. This makes for excellent drinking.”
