Description
This small vineyard is located just north of Hobart on a perfectly positioned north-east facing slope. The beautiful old Georgian homestead of Clarence House was built in 1830 at Clarence Plains, Mt Rumney, has been maintained in its original splendour surrounded by beautiful gardens, and in 1998 present owner David Kilpatrick began planting vines on the north east sloping block facing Mount Rumney just below the Coal River Valley. Over 8ha of the total 12ha of plantings consists of pinot noir and chardonnay, with the remainder including pinot blanc, sauvignon blanc, merlot and tempranillo. All wines are now made by Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb at the nearby Pooley cellar in Cambridge.
The Estate blend comprises fruit from all three pinot blocks, utilizing five different clones. Harvest occurred over two weeks, with the majority of fruit de-stemmed aside from a small portion (5%) of whole bunch. All wild ferments, no adds, on skins for an average of three weeks, before pressing to primarily old French oak barriques and puncheons (10% new oak).
Notes from the winemaker “Typical red and dark berry fruits are prominent, with floral and spice notes. Medium bodied, erring on the slightly fuller side. Ample concentration is restrained within a lithe structure farmed by ripe yet fine tannins. Organic. 13.5% alc.”
